Transcriptomic Analysis of Salivary Glands of Ornithodoros brasiliensis Aragão, 1923, the Agent of a Neotropical Tick-Toxicosis Syndrome in Humans [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Tick salivary glands produce and secrete a variety of compounds that modulate host responses and ensure a successful blood meal. Despite great progress made in the identification of ticks salivary compounds in recent years, there is still a paucity of ...

The Major Tick Salivary Gland Proteins and Toxins from the Soft Tick, Ornithodoros savignyi, Are Part of the Tick Lipocalin Family: Implications for the Origins of Tick Toxicoses [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 2003 The origins of tick toxicoses remain a subject of controversy because no molecular data are yet available to study the evolution of tick-derived toxins. In this study we describe the molecular structure of toxins from the soft tick, Ornithodoros savignyi. The tick salivary gland proteins (TSGPs) are four highly abundant proteins proposed to play a role

Biochemical perspectives on paralysis and other forms of toxicoses caused by ticks
Parasitology, 2004 Tick toxicoses, of which paralysis is the most widespread and dominant form, are important elements of pathogenesis induced by ticks. Tick paralysis is the most widespread and dominant form of tick toxicoses. Non-paralytic forms of tick toxicoses do occur and evidence suggests that these forms of toxicoses are not evolutionary related. While functional

Harm or protection? The adaptive function of tick toxins. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2021 Abstract The existence of tick toxins is an old enigma that has intrigued scientists for a long time. The adaptive value of using deadly toxins for predatory animals is obvious: they try to kill the prey in the most effective way or protect themselves from their natural enemies. Ticks, however, are blood‐sucking parasites, and it seems paradoxical that
