TICK PHEROMONES AND THEIR USE IN TICK CONTROL
Annual Review of Entomology, 2006 ▪ Abstract Tick pheromones that regulate assembly, attraction/aggregation/attachment, and mating behavior have been described. Most of the compounds regulating these behaviors are purines, substituted phenols, or cholesteryl esters. Other pheromonal compounds include organic acids, hematin, or ecdysteroids.
