Metabolomic and transcriptomic responses of ticks during recovery from cold shock reveal mechanisms of survival
18 Feb 2022
Abstract excerpt
Ticks are blood-feeding ectoparasites but spend most of their life off-host where they may have to tolerate low winter temperatures. Rapid cold hardening (RCH) is a process commonly used by arthropods, including ticks, to improve survival of acute low temperature exposure. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms in ticks associated with RCH, cold shock and recovery from these stresses. In the...
