Allopatric speciation in ticks: Genetic and reproductive divergence between geographic strains of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus
Labruna, Marcelo B.; Naranjo, Victoria; Mangold, Atilio J.; Thompson, Carolina; Estrada-Pena, Agustin; Guglielmone, Alberto A.; Jongejan, Frans; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2009-02-25)Background: The cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, economically impact cattle industry in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The morphological and genetic differences among R. microplus strains ... -
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 ... -
Expression of recombinant Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, R. annulatus and R. decoloratus Bm86 orthologs as secreted proteins in Pichia pastoris
Canales, Mario; Perez de la Lastra, Jose M.; Naranjo, Victoria; Nijhof, Ard M.; Hope, Michelle; Jongejan, Frans; de la Fuente, Jose (BioMed Central, 2008-02-14)Background: Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) spp. ticks economically impact on cattle production in Africa and other tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Tick vaccines constitute a cost-effective and environmentally ... -
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. ...
