Abstract

A biological study on Ornithodoros erraticus is carried out, standing out sorne of the most interesting points.
The techniques of maintenance under laboratory conditions are des­cribed and experimental data on its feeding, its growth during the larval state development and its survival to fast are given.

The great resistance or Ornithodoros erraticus to fast is also shown. This suggests a great interest in the transmission of virus diseasess.
The experimental survival of aclults immerged in water and their sensibility at -10°C are indicated too.
