摘要
The establishment of epidemiological studies of African swine fever involves the collection of large numbers of the soft tick, Ornithodoros erraticus, to assess the maintenance and spread of the disease in the semi-arid southern areas of Portugal. An on-farm monitoring system involving solid carbon dioxide trapping of ticks was used. This capture method proved to be both simple and effective when compared with manual collection. Both adult and stadial ticks were attracted by the traps making this method suitable for epidemiological surveillance studies of any disease which involves the Ornithodoros as a vector. © 1990.
