Microarray analysis of gene expression changes in feeding female and male lone star ticks, <i>Amblyomma americanum</i> (L)
9 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
A collection of EST clones from female tick Amblyomma americanum salivary glands was hybridized to RNA from different feeding stages of female tick salivary glands and from unfed or feeding adult male ticks. In the female ticks, the expression patterns changed dramatically upon starting feeding, then changed again towards the end of feeding. On beginning feeding, genes possibly involved in survival on the host...
