  • Title: [The manifestation of sexual dimorphism in the preimago phases of 2 species of the genus Hyalomma (Ixodoidea, Ixodidae)].
    Author: Voltsit OV.
    Journal: Parazitologiia; 1988; 22(1):43-51. PubMed ID: 3357700.
    Abstract:
    Experiments on laboratory cultures of Hyalomma asiaticum and H. anatolicum have shown that at the nymphal phase sexual dimorphism manifests itself in statistically reliable differences between general sizes and mass of the body of male and female individuals. Larger nymphs moult mostly into females, small ones mostly into males. Reliable differences have been noted in the sizes of scutum, gnathosoma and its appendages in male and female nymphs of both species. At the larval phase sexual dimorphism does not manifest itself in the sizes of individuals.
