Size of aerosol droplets impinging on mosquitoes as determined with a scanning electron microscope.
TL;DR: A procedure was developed whereby aerosol droplets of soybean oil that impinged on Aedes taeniorhynchus Wiedemann were observed and photographed with a scanning electron microscope, and droplets ranging in size from two to 16 microns impinged with more efficiency than smaller or larger droplets.

Control of the lone star tick in Oklahoma parks through vegetative management.
TL;DR: Seasonal densities of free-living Amblyomma americanum (L.) were determined for vegetatively managed and unmanaged areas in 5 Oklahoma parks during 1978 and 1979 using a Dry Ice® method and a cloth drag method.

Amblyomma americanwn: Area Control of Overwintered Nymphs and Adults in Oklahoma with Acaricides
TL;DR: Overwintered populations of free-living nymphs and adults of Amblyomma americanum (L.) in Oklahoma were treated with sprays of permethrin, propoxur, diazinon, and naled and with concentrated granules of diazInon during May and June of 1977, 1978, and 1979.

Acaricide susceptibility in the lone star tick: assay techniques and baseline data.
TL;DR: This method (test specimens sealed inside a disposable pipet that hat been previously dipped in an acaricide-acetone solution and allowed to dry) was used to establish base-line dosage-mortality data for A. americanum for 14 acaricides.

Economic thresholds for lone star ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) in recreational areas based on a relationship between CO2 and human subject sampling.
Gary A. Mount,James E. Dunn +1 more
TL;DR: Regression analyses showed that numbers of ticks attracted to human subjects could be predicted from CO2 densities with an acceptable level of precision and an economic threshold of 0.65 ticks per l-h CO2 sample was suggested for general use in tick management for recreational areas.
