Abstract:		"Ticks respond to host stimuli, such as higher CO2 concentrations,vibrations, odour, touch, radiant heat ad kairomones. The behaviour al reactions to these host stimuli vary among tick species. Among these arthropods hunter (actively running in the direction of host) or ambusher ticks (passively waiting for host on the vegetation) occur. Hallers organ, palpal organ, cheliceral organ and receptors on scutum and alloscutum are involved in tick feeding behaviour"
