Multiple Acquisitions of Pathogen-Derived Francisella Endosymbionts in Soft Ticks. [PDF]
Genome Biol Evol, 2018 Bacterial endosymbionts of ticks are of interest due to their close evolutionary relationships with tick-vectored pathogens. For instance, whereas many ticks contain Francisella-like endosymbionts (FLEs), others transmit the mammalian pathogen Francisella tularensis.

A novel clade of cysteinyl leukotriene scavengers in soft ticks [PDF]
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008 Inflammation is an important vertebrate defense mechanism against ecto-parasites for which ticks have evolved numerous mechanisms of modulation. AM-33 and TSGP4, related lipocalins from the soft ticks Argas monolakensis and Ornithodoros savignyi bind cysteinyl leukotrienes with high affinity as measured by isothermal titration calorimetry.
