Copy Number Variation-Based Molecular Sexing of Ixodes scapularis and Rhipicephalus microplus Immature Stages Using qPCR and ddPCR Approaches

2026-02-28

Abstract excerpt

Accurate sex identification of immature ticks is essential for understanding sex-specific ecological dynamics, pathogen transmission, and reproductive biology. However, tick larvae and nymphs lack morphological sexual dimorphisms, limiting the studies. Here, we report the development and validation of copy number variation (CNV)-based molecular sexing approach for two important hard tick species, Ixodes scapularis...
