Abstract excerpt
Human anaplasmosis caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum is one of the most common tick-borne diseases in the United States. The black-legged ticks, Ixodes scapularis, vector and transmit this bacterium to humans. In this study, we provide evidence that targeting I. scapularis membrane-bound organic anion transporting polypeptide 4056 (IsOATP4056) with an anti-vector vaccine affects transmission of A....
