A pre-attachment aggregation pheromone in the adult metastriate tick Hyalomma dromedarii Koch (Acarina: Ixodidae).

In vitro investigation demonstrates the existence of pheromone-regulated movement in the metastriate tick H. dromedarii before host contact. Males exhibit significant assembly to material of females. The palps, not Haller's organ, are essential for pheromone detection. The material is soluble in water, not in ether, benzene, or acetone and it is relatively stable to heat and cold.

In the years 1973 and 1975 mosquitoes and some other Diptera (Tabanidae, Simuliidae, Hippoboscidae) were tested for virus. 13,924 mosquitoes, 75 horseflies and 60 blackflies were processed in 1973. Five strains of Tahyna virus were isolated from mosquito species Aedes vexans. 3,378 mosquitoes and 12 sheep keds were tested for virus in 1975. Twelve strains of Calovo virus were isolated from Anopheles maculipennis and one strain of Tahyna virus was obtained from Aedes vexans mosquitoes.
