Abstract

A 24-mo study of the laboratory life cycle of the tick Ixodes woodi Bishopp was conducted. No other such study of any species in the subgenus Ixodiopsis Filippova has been reported. Three generations of I. woodi were examined. Larvae and nymphs fed for an average of 4 d; approximately 8-9 d were required for females to engorge. Females laid approximately 900 eggs that required an average of 37.33 d to hatch.
