SIALOTRANSCRIPTOMICS OF RHIPICEPHALUS ZAMBEZIENSIS REVEALS INTRICATE EXPRESSION PROFILES OF SECRETORY PROTEINS AND SUGGESTS TIGHT TEMPORAL TRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATION DURING BLOOD-FEEDING

Sialotranscriptomics of Rhipicephalus zambeziensis reveals intricate expression profiles of secretory proteins and suggests tight temporal transcriptional regulation during blood-feeding

Abstract Background Ticks secrete a diverse mixture of secretory proteins into the host to evade its immune response and facilitate blood-feeding, making secretory proteins attractive targets for the production of recombinant anti-tick vaccines.The largely neglected tick species, Rhipicephalus shurflo 2088-343-435 zambeziensis, is an efficient vect
