Dermacentor occidentalis nymphal ticks were successfully infected with the agent of bovine chlamydial abortion. Multiplication of the agent was shown to occur during nymphal engorgement, but chlamydial isolations were not made from nymphal ticks after detachment or during subsequent metamorphosis. Primary tissue cultures of nymphal viscera infected in vitro or in vivo failed to demonstrate chlamydial replication.
西方革蜱若蜱成功感染了牛衣原体流产病原体。已证明该病原体在若蜱饱血期间繁殖，但在若蜱脱落后或随后变态期间未从若蜱中分离出衣原体。体外或体内感染的若蜱内脏原代组织培养未能证明衣原体复制。
