Visualization of digestive tract of ticks
Original language description
There are numerous techniques to visualize anatomy of ticks, yet none allows to observe the whole digestive tract of fully engorged ticks in its natural and intact state. Micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) uses X-rays to create a three-dimensional reconstruction of a viewed object. Even though micro-CT is a non-invasive method, soft biological tissues need to undergo preparation procedure prior scanning in order to gain contrast. Used contrasting techniques e. g. dehydration and immersion in a liquid metal solution are not optimal in case of fully engorged ticks due to the caused shrinkage of specimen and the slow, uneven penetration of a contrasting agent into their sizable bodies. In this study, we aim to visualize the digestive tract of engorged ticks unaffected by any contrasting procedure utilizing micro-CT.
