SUMMARY

The optimized artificial feeding system (Fig 1) consists of a polycarbonate tube (approximately 2.5 cm inner diameter, and 4.5 cm tall) with Parafilm M stretched tightly across the bottom to act as a feeding membrane and mosquito netting covering the top of the chamber to confine the ticks.
