Function, mechanism and evolution of the moubatin-clade of soft tick lipocalins [PDF]
Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008 The "moubatin-clade" of soft tick lipocalins, although monophyletic, shows clear signs of paralogy as indicated by the various functions associated with this protein family. This includes anti-platelet (moubatin), anti-complement (OMCI) and toxic (TSGP2) activities in the vertebrate host.

Soft Ticks as Pathogen Vectors: Distribution, Surveillance and Control [PDF]
, 2012 Ticks are highly specialized obligate haematophagous ectoparasites of mammals, birds and reptiles. Ticks are distributed worldwide and are of enormous medical and veterinary relevance owing to the direct damage they cause to their hosts and, especially, because they are vectors of a large variety of human and animal pathogens. In fact, ticks are second
