Abstract

Cultured embryonic cells of Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (Acarina : Ixodidae) have been studied by electron microscope. Two major cell types, an epithelial-like cell and the fibroblast-type cell, are described. A possible third cell type, a muscle cell, which occurs rarely in the cell culture, is also described. The different phases of development, namely the growth, maturation, and aging of the cells are described and discussed. © 1987.
