Shatas (1952) referred to Haemaphysalis punctata as a reservoir and vector of P.
tularensis, whilst Zasukhin (1936) expressed the view that R. rossicus, as it was
found spontaneously infected, might well prove to be a vector since it attacked ...

The aetiological agent is a toxin secreted by the tick and this is transmitted
transovarially for at least seven generations by the vector (Neitz, 1955, 1956)
irrespective of whether they feed on susceptible, immune or non-susceptible

Evidence was also forthcoming that the micro-organisms could be preserved in
rats for about 2 months, and that at temperatures of — 2°C they survived in ticks
for 8 months, after which they could be transmitted by all stages of the vector.
