The salivary glands are believed to secrete hygroscopic material that is important
in enabling the unfed tick to absorb water from unsaturated air ( Rudolph &
Knülle 1974 , 1978 , McMullen et al . , 1976 ) . Needham and Teel review this

Calcium and cAMP are important intracellular components regulating the
activities of many cells ( Rasmussen 1981 ) . The importance of Ca2 +
concentration in affecting modulators of salivary gland cytosolic PDE has already
been described .

important to the maintenance of the integrity of individual species in nature .
Another important finding is the widespread use of phenolic compounds as
