Sex dimorphism, in agreement with the normal karyotype, was shown to exist in interphase nuclei of the argasid tick Ornithodoros savignyi. 2. Sex-chromatin bodies were suitably demonstrated only in nuclei of the rectal sac. Other tissues proved to be completely unsuitable. 3. An adapted method, giving excellent differential staining of the sex-chromatin bodies, is described.en© 1966 ARC - Onderstepoort and Faculty of Veterinary Science, University of Pretoria (original). © 2016 University of Pretoria.
