Abstract excerpt
Approximately 80% of the world's cattle are raised in regions with a high risk of tick-borne diseases, resulting in significant economic losses due to parasitism by Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus. However, the lack of a systemic biology approach hampers a comprehensive understanding of tick-host interactions that mediate tick resistance phenotypes. Here, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of...
