Soft ticks perform evaporative cooling during blood-feeding [PDF]

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2020
Abstract Feeding on the blood of warm-blooded vertebrates is associated to thermal stress in haematophagous arthropods. It has been demonstrated that blood-sucking insects protect their physiological integrity either by synthesising heat-shock proteins or by means of thermoregulatory mechanisms.
