Characterization of Ixophilin, A Thrombin Inhibitor from the Gut of Ixodes scapularis

PLoS ONE, 2013
Ixodes scapularis, the black-legged tick, vectors several human pathogens including Borrelia burgdorferi, the agent of Lyme disease in North America. Pathogen transmission to the vertebrate host occurs when infected ticks feed on the mammalian host to obtain a blood meal.

The role of Rab27 in tick extracellular vesicle biogenesis and pathogen infection

Parasites & Vectors
Background The blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis, transmits most vector-borne diseases in the US. It vectors seven pathogens of public health relevance, including the emerging human pathogen Anaplasma phagocytophilum.
