FIG. 1.
Efficacy of successive DCM extractions for the removal of adhered conidia of M. anisopliae var. anisopliae strain 7 from tick cuticle. Engorged R. annulatus female ticks were inoculated with suspensions of conidia (105 or 106 conidia per ml). The adhered conidia were removed with 1 ml DCM; duration of solvent contact with tick was 10 min. Bar, means ± standard errors (SE).
