Extract

When studying a collection of ticks sent to us by Dr G. I. Sorokoumov from Turkestan, we observed several specimens which presented a remarkable appearance. Their bodies were covered with numerous oval, whitish, well-defined elevations with a glossy surface. We could find no reference to such a condition in the literature on ticks. A disease in Rhipicephalus bursa nymphs, observed by P. Schulze in 1925, and supposed to be due to a fungus, offers no similarity.
