Transcriptomic analysis of the tick midgut and salivary gland responses upon repeated blood-feeding on a vertebrate host
4 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
Ticks are blood-feeding arthropods that use the components of their salivary glands to counter the host’s hemostatic, inflammatory, and immune responses. The tick midgut also plays a crucial role in hematophagy. It is responsible for managing blood meals (storage and digestion) and protecting against host immunity and pathogen infections. Previous transcriptomic studies revealed the complexity of tick sialomes...
