Artificial feeding of rhipicephalus microplus female ticks with anti calreticulin serum do not influence tick and Babesia bigemina acquisition

  • Authors: Antunes S, de la Fuente J, Domingos A, Domingues N, Lerias J, Merino O, Mosqueda J

Ticks are obligate haematophagous ectoparasites considered the principal vectors of disease among animals. Rhipicephalus microplus and R. annulatus ticks are the most important vectors for Babesia bigemina and B. bovis, two of the most important intraerythrocytic protozoan parasites species in cattle, responsible for babesiosis which together with anaplasmosis account for substantial economic losses in the […]

Vaccination with proteins involved in tick-pathogen interactions reduces vector infestations and pathogen infection

Tick-borne pathogens cause diseases that greatly impact animal health and production worldwide. The ultimate goal of tick vaccines is to protect against tick-borne diseases through the control of vector infestations and reducing pathogen infection and transmission. Tick genetic traits are involved in vector-pathogen interactions and some of these molecules such as Subolesin (SUB) have been shown to protect against vector infestations and pathogen infection.

Tick capillary feeding for the study of proteins involved in tick-pathogen interactions as potential antigens for the control of tick infestation and pathogen infection

  • Authors: Alberdi P, Antunes S, Bell-Sakyi L, de la Fuente J, Domingos A, Fragkoudis R, Merino O, Moreno-Cid JA, Mosqueda J, Perez de la Lastra JM, Weisheit S

Ticks represent a significant health risk to animals and humans due to the variety of pathogens they can transmit during feeding. The traditional use of chemicals to control ticks has serious drawbacks, including the selection of acaricide-resistant ticks and environmental contamination with chemical residues. Vaccination with the tick midgut antigen BM86 was shown to be a good alternative for cattle tick control. However, results vary considerably between tick species and geographic location.
