Periviscerokinin (Cap 2b ; CAPA) receptor silencing in females of Rhipicephalus microplus reduces survival, weight and reproductive output

Abstract Background The cattle fever tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, is a vector of pathogens causative of babesiosis and anaplasmosis, both highly lethal bovine diseases that affect cattle worldwide. In Ecdysozoa, neuropeptides and their G-protein-coupled receptors play a critical integr...
