Abstract
INTRACELLULAR Rickettsia-like micro-organisms are known to exist naturally in ticks, usually occurring in the Malpighian tubules and oocytes1,2. Their distribution in the organs of the ticks has been, in the past, studied by various investigators3,4 from conventionally stained smears and sections of tick tissues.
