    • Differential expression of genes in salivary glands of male Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus in response to infection with Anaplasma marginale 

      Zivkovic, Zorica; Esteves, Eliane; Almazan, Consuelo; Daffre, Sirlei; Nijhof, Ard M.; Kocan, Katherine M.; Jongejan, Frans; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2010-03-18)
      Background: Bovine anaplasmosis, caused by the rickettsial tick-borne pathogen Anaplasma marginale (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae), is vectored by Rhipicephalus (Boophilus)microplus in many tropical and subtropical regions ...

    • Evidence of the role of tick subolesin in gene expression 

      de la Fuente, Jose; Maritz-Olivier, Christine; Naranjo, Victoria; Ayoubi, Patricia; Nijhof, Ard M.; Almazan, Consuelo; Canales, Mario; Perez de la Lastra, Jose M.; Galindo, Ruth C.; Blouin, Edmour F.; Gortazar, Christian; Jongejan, Frans; Kocan, Katherine M. (BioMed Central, 2008-08-02)
      Background: Subolesin is an evolutionary conserved protein that was discovered recently in Ixodes scapularis as a tick protective antigen and has a role in tick blood digestion, reproduction and development. In other ...

    • Functional genomics of the horn fly, Haematobia irritans (Linnaeus, 1758) 

      Torres, Lorena; Almazan, Consuelo; Ayllon, Nieves; Galindo, Ruth C.; Rosario-Cruz, Rodrigo; Quiroz-Romero, Hector; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2011-02-10)
      Background: The horn fly, Haematobia irritans (Linnaeus, 1758) (Diptera: Muscidae) is one of the most important ectoparasites of pastured cattle. Horn flies infestations reduce cattle weight gain and milk production. ...

    • Silencing of genes involved in Anaplasma marginale-tick interactions affects the pathogen developmental cycle in Dermacentor variabilis 

      Kocan, Katherine M.; Zivkovic, Zorica; Blouin, Edmour F.; Naranjo, Victoria; Almazan, Consuelo; Mitra, Ruchira; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2009-07-16)
      Background: The cattle pathogen, Anaplasma marginale, undergoes a developmental cycle in ticks that begins in gut cells. Transmission to cattle occurs from salivary glands during a second tick feeding. At each site of ...

    • Subolesin expression in response to pathogen infection in ticks 

      Zivkovic, Zorica; Torina, Alessandra; Mitra, Ruchira; Alongi, Angela; Scimeca, Salvatore; Kocan, Katherine M.; Almazan, Consuelo; Blouin, Edmour F.; Villar, Margarita; Nijhof, Ard M.; Mani, Rinosh; La Barbera, Giuseppa; Caracappa, Santo; Jongejan, Frans; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2010-02-19)
      Background: Ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) are vectors of pathogens worldwide that cause diseases in humans and animals. Ticks and pathogens have co-evolved molecular mechanisms that contribute to their mutual development and ...

    • Vaccination with recombinant Boophilus annulatus Bm86 ortholog protein, Ba86, protects cattle against B. annulatus and B. microplus infestations 

      Canales, Mario; Almazan, Consuelo; Naranjo, Victoria; Jongejan, Frans; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2009-03-31)
      Background: The cattle ticks, Boophilus spp., affect cattle production in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Tick vaccines constitute a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to tick control. ...
