Finally, there are daily rates of mortality, which are specific to each stage and state (questing, feeding andengorged).From theCambridge English Corpus
Relationships between these aspects of size in the moulted adult ticks and their weights asengorgednymphs were then investigated.From theCambridge English Corpus
The effect is to permit a higher percentage attachment and engorgement by feeding ticks, and better subsequent survival byengorgedticks.From theCambridge English Corpus
For the oviposition experiments, blackflies were allowed to bloodfeed until fullyengorged.From theCambridge English Corpus
Ticks that hadengorgedand detached were harvested on days 4, 5 and 6 after tick application.From theCambridge English Corpus
In addition, 28 out of the 30engorgednymphs were found on animals that were also infested with larvae.From theCambridge English Corpus
We have also investigated potential relationships between the weights ofengorgednymphs and post-moulting survival of adult ticks via effects on adult tick size.From theCambridge English Corpus
Anecdotal evidence suggests that even large larval infestations are likely to yield very fewengorgedadult ticks.From theCambridge English Corpus
Ticks were considered fullyengorgedby their size, shape and colour, and when they could be easily dislodged with one fingertip.From theCambridge English Corpus
Partiallyengorgedfemales that were not re-fed were maintained for oviposition.From theCambridge English Corpus
Any apparentlyengorgedtick that required more effort to remove was considered not to have completed feeding and was not collected.From theCambridge English Corpus
An antiserum raised in a rabbit against partiallyengorgedsalivary glands was used as a probe.From theCambridge English Corpus
The capacity of immature instars which successfullyengorgedon rabbits to complete metamorphosis was not affected by the host immune response.From theCambridge English Corpus
Scatter points show theengorgedweight of each female.From theCambridge English Corpus
The length, width and weight of adult ticks and the scutum length of adult females were linearly related to their weight as anengorgednymph.From theCambridge English Corpus
