dc.description.abstract	Engorgement, mass at repletion and moulting success of immature Ixodes rubicundus after sequential infestations of their natural hosts, rock elephant shrews (Elephantulus myurus) , were investigated under laboratory conditions. The reaction of E. myurus is characterized by inefficient or non-existent anti-tick immunity which enables immature I. rubicundus to attach and engorge successfully and ensures a high moulting success rate.	en
