Abstract

i\.I3STRACT. AVALlATION OF THE ANOMALOUS BEHAVIOR OF ANOCENTOR NITENS (NEUMANN) (ACARI: IXODIDAE), DURING THE NON PARASITIC PlIi\.SE. A newtcchniquewas dcvclop tostudy the anomalous behavior or non parasitic phase or Anocentor nitens on horsc host. From the total teleogines was still alive during ali experimental period, 89.1 % laided eggs on ear host. The eclosion index was 77.05 % with 80.0% or cclodibility. The preoviposition period and oviposition period was 3 to 17 days (4.92±0.73 days) and 16 to 41 days (24.38 ± 1.05 days), respectively. The incubation period was 26 to 48 days (34.94±2.92 days).1t was conrirmed that A. nitens teleogine could laid on ear or horse, whcn it was dettachment and a ractor impossibilited it down on ground.
