摘要：

Nine known or potential components of the aggregation-attachment pheromone of the ticks Amblyomma hebraeum and A. variegatum were tested as long-range attractants. In field assays, laboratory-reared unfed male and female ticks were released 4 m downwind of treated filter-paper targets. Carbon dioxide was used to activate the ticks and the numbers attracted to the targets were recorded. Adults of A. hebraeum were attracted to six compounds (benzaldehyde, 2,6-dichlorophenol, heptadecane, methyl salicylate, nonanoic acid and o-nitrophenol) and adults of A. variegatum to four compounds (2,6-dichlorophenol, methyl salicylate, nonanoic acid and o-nitrophenol). The most important attractant for A. hebraeum was o-nitrophenol; methyl salicylate and o-nitrophenol were the most important attractants for A. variegatum. Nonanoic acid and o-nitrophenol attracted significantly more female than male A. hebraeum. Both species were also attracted by a mixture of the nine compounds.
