Differential transcription of the major antigenic protein 1 multigene family of Ehrlichia ruminantium in Amblyomma variegatum ticks

Postigo, Milagros; Taoufik, Amar; Bell-Sakyi, Lesley; De Vries, Erik; Morrison, W. Ivan; Jongejan, Frans (Elsevier, 2007-06-21)

The rickettsial pathogen Ehrlichia ruminantium causes heartwater in ruminants and is transmitted by ticks of the genus Amblyomma. The map1 gene, encoding the major surface protein MAP1, is a member of a multigene family ...
Gene silencing of the tick protective antigens, Bm86, Bm91 and subolesin, in the one-host tick Boophilus microplus by RNA interference

Nijhof, Ard M.; Taoufik, Amar; De la Fuente, Jose; Kocan, Katherine M.; De Vries, Erik; Jongejan, Frans (Elsevier, 2006-05)

The use of RNA interference (RNAi) to assess gene function has been demonstrated in several three-host tick species but adaptation of RNAi to the one-host tick, Boophilus microplus, has not been reported. We evaluated the ...
