One tick closer to a better understanding of tick physiology and how to incorporate tick biology in a classroom
… biology as well as give an overview of the Haller’s organ, which is the chemosensory structure found in ticks. In Chapter 2, I discuss a micro-computed tomography (MicroCT) scanning procedure I developed for examining the embryogenesis of the black-legged tick and document the full …
