RNA Interference in Ticks: A Functional Genomics Tool for the Study of Physiology

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Ticks are an example of an efficient ectoparasite that feeds on a variety of hosts including humans, domestic and wild animals. Tick salivary glands are critical to the biological success of ticks both during extended periods off the host and during the feeding period on the host. The salivary glands are also the sites of pathogen development and saliva is the route of transmission. The importance of multifunction...
