Transcriptome analysis of the salivary glands of the female tick <i>Amblyomma americanum</i> (Acari: Ixodidae)
13 Mar 2009
Abstract excerpt
Ticks infest a wide range of hosts while bypassing their immune, inflammatory and haemostatic responses during their extended feeding, which may last for more than two weeks. Here, we present a transcriptome analysis of 3868 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) from three cDNA libraries generated from the salivary glands of adult female Ambyomma americanum ticks at different stages of feeding. We applied a...
