dc.description.abstract	A study was conducted on the activity response of unfed adults of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus to some of the environmental changes during the three main seasons here in East Africa. Ticks of two different ages were subjected to varios treatments in the laboratory to vary their physiological (hydration) states and thereafter exposed in the field. Observations were made on the activity responses in relation to changes in temperature and relative humidity within ~he micro-habitat at two different sites. (Continue from the attached PDF)	en_US
