An Immunosuppressant Peptide from the Hard Tick Amblyomma variegatum [PDF]
Toxins, 2016 Ixodid ticks are well known for spreading transmitted tick-borne pathogens while being attached to their hosts for almost 1–2 weeks to obtain blood meals. Thus, they must secrete many immunosuppressant factors to combat the hosts’ immune system.
