Antibacterial Activity by Hemolymph Defensin from the Hard Tick <em>Haemaphysalis longicornis</em>

2018-01-12

Abstract excerpt

Ticks are key vectors of some important diseases of humans and animals. Although they are carriers of disease agents, the viability and development of ticks are not harmed by the infectious agents due to their innate immunity. Antimicrobial peptides directly protect hosts against pathogenic agents such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Among the identified and characterized antimicrobial peptides, defensins hav...
