PERK-mediated antioxidant response is key for pathogen persistence in ticks

2023-06-01

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> A crucial phase in the lifecycle of tick-borne pathogens is the time spent colonizing and persisting within the arthropod. Tick immunity is emerging as a key force shaping how transmissible pathogens interact with the vector. How pathogens remain in the tick despite immunological pressure remains unknown. In persistently infected Ixodes scapularis , we found that Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme dis...
