Host Immune Responses to Salivary Components - A Critical Facet of Tick-Host Interactions

Host Immune Responses to Salivary Components - A Critical Facet of Tick-Host Interactions

Tick sialome is comprised of a rich cocktail of bioactive molecules that function as a tool to disarm host immunity, assist blood-feeding, and play a vibrant role in pathogen transmission. The adaptation of the tick’s blood-feeding behavior has lead to the evolution of bioactive molecules in its sal...
