The Kunitz-like modulatory protein haemangin is vital for hard tick blood-feeding success. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
Ticks are serious haematophagus arthropod pests and are only second to mosquitoes as vectors of diseases of humans and animals. The salivary glands of the slower feeding hard ticks such as Haemaphysalis longicornis are a rich source of bioactive ...

A Continuing Exploration of Tick–Virus Interactions Using Various Experimental Viral Infections of Hard Ticks [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
To fully unravel the ixodid ticks' role as vectors of viral pathogens, their susceptibility to new control measures, and their ability to develop acaricide resistance, acclimatization of ticks under laboratory conditions is greatly needed. However, the unique and complicated feeding behavior of these ticks compared to that of other hematophagous ...
