Mean Argas (Persicargas) persicus (Oken 1818) (Acari: Argasidae)unfed and fed females weighted 3.34 and 11.50 mg, respectively. It was more than for males (2.6 and 8.27 mg), respectively. The amount of ingested blood by females (9.31mg.) was larger than males (5.65 mg.). The excreted coxal fluid was also larger in fed females (1.15 ± 0.5) than fed males (0.13 ± 0.01). Gut fluid (G) contained the least of body water. It increased after feeding in females and males (1.110 and 1.008 mg), respectively. Haemolymph fluid (H) increased in females than males after feeding.
