Evidence of the role of tick subolesin in gene expression
(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 ...
Allopatric speciation in ticks: Genetic and reproductive divergence between geographic strains of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus
(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 ...
Expression of recombinant Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, R. annulatus and R. decoloratus Bm86 orthologs as secreted proteins in Pichia pastoris
(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 ...
Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Anaplasma marginale elicit different gene expression responses in cultured tick cells
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009)
The genus Anaplasma (Rickettsiales: Anaplasmataceae) includes obligate tick-transmitted intracellular organisms, Anaplasma phagocytophilum and Anaplasma marginale that multiply in both vertebrate and tick host cells. ...
Vaccination with recombinant Boophilus annulatus Bm86 ortholog protein, Ba86, protects cattle against B. annulatus and B. microplus infestations
(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. ...
