Antigens located in the midgut of the tick are hidden from the host's immune system. Egg production of ticks can be reduced when ticks are fed on animals vaccinated with midgut antigens of the tick, and a subunit vaccine formulated with the recombinant antigen Bm86 is now available that can reduce the number of ticks infesting cattle grazing on pasture.

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2010
The inflammatory process in arthropods includes primarily the recruitment of circulating hemocytes to wounds or sites of microbial infections. Melanization, capsule formation and clotting reactions will finally result in the sealing of wounds. In this review we will focus on recent research about hemolymph clotting and melanization reactions, and the ...

Arthropods are important in medicine for a multitude of reasons. Their bites and stings may induce allergic reactions, ranging from annoying to life-threatening. Many arthropod products are also capable of inciting allergic responses in sensitized persons.

Arthropod cuticle features and arthropod monophyly [PDF]
Experientia, 1980 The following synapomorphic features of the arthropod cuticle: presence of α-chitin, similarity of codons for amino acids in cuticle protein, and occurrence of resilin, are cited as evidence for the monophyletic origin of current arthropod classes.

Members of the phylum Arthropoda are characterized by segmented bodies; paired, jointed appendages (legs and antennae); an exoskeleton; and bilateral symmetry. Included in this group are many creatures such as crustaceans, centipedes, millipedes, spiders, scorpions, ticks, mites, and insects.

Nature, 1950
THE outermost layer of the integument of insects is a complex structure known as the ‘epicuticle’, composed of several discrete layers the presence of which has been deduced by studying the permeability and deposition of the cuticle1. Homologous epicuticles have also been investigated in isopod and decapod Crustacea, and in ticks.

The anterior region of arthropods is profoundly influenced by effects of condensation and integration that has taken place in various character complexes. Prominent examples are the cerebralization of the central nervous system, the integration of anterior appendages to encompass sensory function and food uptake, the integration of anterior segments ...

The Structure of Arthropod Hemocyanins
Science, 1985Hemocyanins are large multi-subunit copper proteins that transport oxygen in many arthropods and molluscs. Comparison of the amino acid sequence data for seven different subunits of arthropod hemocyanins from crustaceans and chelicerates shows many highly conserved residues and extensive regions of near identity.

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 1984
Millions of arthropods surround us every day, but only a few are medically harmful. Knowledge of the habits and habitats of known venomous arthropods is certainly advisable for the prudent person in areas of known infestation as a preventive measure. Arthropod envenomations probably produce much less mortality than previously thought, but the potential

Abstract Most arthropods are harmless, but there is a select group of medically significant species. Invertebrates with jointed limbs belong to the phylum Arthropoda. Most of the medically important arthropods are in the classes Insecta (insects) or Arachnida (spiders, ticks, mites, scorpions).
