Additional evidence on the efficacy of different Akirin vaccines assessed on Anopheles arabiensis (Diptera: Culicidae) [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2021 Background Anopheles arabiensis is an opportunistic malaria vector that rests and feeds outdoors, circumventing current indoor vector control methods. Furthermore, this vector will readily feed on both animals and humans.

Designing a multi-epitope construct using immuno-informatic tools to prepare a messenger RNA vaccine against Rhipicephalus microplus ticks [PDF]
Veterinary WorldBackground and Aim: Ticks are blood-feeding ectoparasites that transmit pathogens to animals and humans. One of the most important hard ticks in animals is Rhipicephalus microplus, which transmits Babesia and Anaplasma spp.

Cross-species immunoprotective antigens (subolesin, ferritin 2 and P0) provide protection against Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Tick control is mostly hampered by the rise of acaricide-resistant tick populations. Significant efforts have focused on developing alternative control methods, including cross-species protective and/or cocktail-based anti-tick vaccines, to ...
