Tick cell lines: tools for tick and tick-borne disease research [PDF]
Trends in Parasitology, 2007 Over 40 cell lines are currently available from 13 ixodid and one argasid tick species. The successful isolation and propagation of several economically important tick-borne pathogens in tick cell lines has created a useful model to study interactions between tick cells and these viral and bacterial disease agents.
