TI  - Identification of 2,4-dichlorophenol in females of the American dog tick, 
      Dermacentor variabilis (Acari: Ixodidae), and its possible role as a component of 
      the attractant sex pheromone.
PG  - 945-7
AB  - Presence of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in extracts of fed and nonfed adult 
      female Dermacentor variabilis (Say) by gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy 
      (GC/MS) is reported. 2,4-DCP was detected as part of a mixture with 
      2,6-dichlorophenol, which is the attractant sex pheromone in this species in a 
      1:9 ratio, respectively. Extracts did not contain the monochlorinated phenols, 
      2-chlorophenol and 4-chlorophenol. None of these chlorophenols were detected in 
      eggs. 2,4-DCP is comparable in efficacy to 2,6-DCP as an attractant sex 
      pheromone, prompting attraction, arrestment and feeding posture behavior by fed 
      males. It is also present in the female adult.
