Abstract: This study evaluated the influence of the initial weight, feeding period and temperature on weight gain and biological parameters of the non-parasitic phase of partially engorged Rhipicephalus sanguineus females that were artificially fed using plastic tips as feeding devices. The device did not alter the oviposition of the females or any other parameters evaluated. Furthermore, it was observed that the temperature of the feeding the group did not affect the weight gain and biology of ticks. This device has gr… Show more

“…Although small differences in RH and temperature inside the tick feeding units between both systems were observed, we consider it unlikely that these differences explain the differences in engorgement weight and fecundity. The artificial feeding of Rhipicephalus sanguineus at 27 and 37 °C, a far greater temperature difference than we observed, was recently shown to have no significant effect on the mean weight gain of ticks (Valim et al 2017 ).…”

“…Nearly-engorged adult female A . sculptum were detached from rabbits and weighed before being artificially fed, using plastic pipette tips [40,41] as follows. The ticks were divided into two groups; one group received at least 400μL of citrated rabbit blood containing 10 7 /mL viable M .…”
