The role of autophagy in tick-endosymbiont interactions: insights from Ixodes scapularis and Rickettsia buchneri
ABSTRACT Approximately 80 identified tick species are recognized as vectors and impact global public health by transmitting a wide range of pathogens; however, little is known about the interactions of ticks with the microbiome that they harbor, let alone their bacterial symbionts. In this study, we...
