Transcriptome analysis of the winter tick ( Dermacentor albipictus ) reveals sex-specific expression patterns

Abstract The winter tick, Dermacentor albipictus , is a significant ectoparasite of ruminants across North America, posing health risks to wildlife and occasionally humans. Despite its ecological importance, limited genomic resources exist for this species.
