determined by the activity of adenylate cyclase in synthesizing cAMP from ATP
and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDE) in hydrolyzing cAMP to inactive

The critical equilibrium activity (CEA; activity = relative humidity/100) is the activity
at which water uptake from the environment equals loss from the body. For this
value to be lower than about 0.99 (hemolymph activity) the tick must have the ...
