Life Cycle of Hard and Soft Tick Model
Product Code : JC-BE-5200
The Life Cycle of Hard and Soft Tick Model (SKU JC-BE-5200) is a comparative life cycle teaching model depicting hard tick (Ixodidae) and soft tick (Argasidae) life cycles. Hard ticks carry a rigid dorsal shield and feed for days, while soft ticks have a leathery body, feed briefly and pass through several nymphal stages; the model compares the two life cycles. As a hard and soft tick model, it gives schools, colleges, medical and public health institutes a reusable aid for teaching ticks as disease vectors without a preserved specimen.
