摘要
A behavioral bioassay is described that detected kairomonal activity in substances associated with the metatarsal glands of white-tailed deer, Odocoileus virginianus (Zimmermann). Dry and aqueous wipes or rubs of glandular areas elicited an arrestant response in adult blacklegged ticks, Ixodes scapularis Say.
