Abstract: Experiences obtained during laboratory rearing of a tick species, which is widespread in Hungary and is of public health and veterinary importance are reported. The females were collected from cattle and placed in an environment of 20-22O°C and > 90% relative humidity. The developmental stages were monitored frorn oviposition to the feeding of the adults. The shortest duration of development was 83 days. Finally it is stressed that further studies are necessary to better understand the environmental factors regulating the population dynamics of the species, and for mass production of developmental stages of known age for toxicological studies.
