Abstract

Toxins have been shown to present in the salivary glands, whole body extracts, and eggs of ticks. They cause histological lesions in the skin, and in various organs of tick hosts. Among toxicoses, tick paralysis is of the greatest medical and veterinary importance. Toxins are secreted by cells "b" of acinus II in salivary glands during tick feeding.
