Protocol for encapsulating ticks to study tick hematophagy and tick-virus-host interactions
STAR ProtocolsSummary: Hard ticks can acquire and transmit various pathogens during their multi-day blood feeding events. Here, we present a protocol for encapsulating ticks while they feed on mice. We describe steps for affixing tick capsules to mice, counting ticks,
