摘要：

A colony of Amblyomma parvum was started with engorged females collected from cattle in the Province of Salta (25-degrees 01' S, 63-degrees 56' W), Argentina. The progeny of those ticks were fed on rabbits and the non-parasitic stages maintained at 27 +/- 1-degrees-C, 83-86% RH in darkness. The life cycle (prefeeding period not evaluated) had a mean duration of 99.6 days. The mean time (days) for the different phases of the cycle were as follows: feeding period of females, 8.0; pre-oviposition period, 5.7; oviposition period, 17.5; minimum incubation period of the eggs, 31.8; feeding period of larvae, 3.2; premoult period to nymphs, 10.9; feeding period of nymphs, 4.7; premoult period to adults, 17.8. The oviposition pattern was typical of an ixodid tick, including a linear relationship between weights of engorged females and the number of eggs laid (r = 0.8659). The males increased 18% in weight after feeding on hosts (P < 0.01). The mean recovery rates of larvae, nymphs and females were 28.2%, 95.3% and 90.7%, respectively. The nymphs moulting to females were heavier (6.8 +/- 0.69 mg) than those moulting to males (3.2 +/- 0.29 mg) (P < 0.01). A comparison of biological values of A. parvum with American and non-American Amblyomma species is presented.
