The Bacterial Kinase AnmK Integrates into Tick Genome and Biology

2026-03-16

Abstract excerpt

Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) contributes to eukaryotic evolution, potentially bringing phenotypic novelties to the recipient organisms. Ticks pose a severe threat to human health as vectors of various pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and protozoa, while stably hosting endosymbiotic bacteria. As such, these obligate blood-feeding parasites have been and continue to be exposed to HGT from a broad range of do...
