"Exploring the salivary transcriptome of Ixodes ricinus, the Lyme disease vector in Europe, and the potential role of its cystatins in pathogen transmission" (RICYSTVACANT2010)
Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,
"Ixodes ricinus abundance and its infection prevalence with Borrelia burgdorferi s.l. (the Lyme disease agent) have led to an increased risk of human exposure to tick bites and Borrelia infection in Europe. Acaricide based control of this vector has caused serious repercussions, thus raising the importance for the development of anti-tick vaccines. My previous work has demonstrated that guinea pig ...
