A newly identified three-domain C-type lectin associated with blood feeding in the tick <i>Ixodes ricinus</i>

2026-01-08

Abstract excerpt

Ixodes ricinus ticks are widely distributed throughout Europe and represent major vectors of tick-borne encephalitis virus and the Lyme borreliosis agent Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. In invertebrates, C-type lectins are commonly associated with innate immune functions, and several such lectins have been predicted in I. ricinus . Given the limited knowledge of lectin function in ticks, we characterized three...
