Function and evolution of aquaporin IsAQP1 in the Lyme disease vector Ixodes scapularis

2022-07-27

Abstract excerpt

Ticks are important vectors of pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and protozoans to humans, wildlife, and domestic animals. Due to their life cycle, ticks face significant challenges related to water homeostasis. When blood-feeding they must excrete water and ions, but when off-host (for stretches lasting several months) they must conserve water to avoid desiccation. Aquaporins (AQPs), a family of membrane-bound water...
