The Bulletin is a means of immediate dissemination of information of significant interest to the AFPMB's constituency.  Continuing the tradition developed since the first DPMIAC Technical Information Bulletin (TIB) was published in 1980, this on-line Bulletin picks up as Volume 22, for the year 2002.  Published items will be numbered, and archived periodically for future access.

• Hyalomma marginatum on a Permethrin-impregnated Battle Dress Uniform in Afghanistan – Michael K. Faulde. The rapid, spider-like movements of hyalommine ticks enhance their effectiveness as vectors of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. However, in this film clip, a “hot feet” effect is evident as the tick progresses up the treated BDU, causing it to eventually release its hold on the fabric and drop to the ground.
