Abstract
The molting hormone, α-ecdysone, and an analog ▵7-5β-cholestene-2β,3β, 14α-triol-6-one when applied externally, terminates diapause in larvae of the winter tick, Dermacentor albpictus. This is the first reported hormonal termination of diapause in an arthropod other than an insect.Keywords
