Among arthropod vectors, ticks transmit the most diverse human and animal pathogens,
leading to an increasing number of new challenges worldwide. Here we sequenced and …

Parthenogenesis has been documented in almost every phylum of animals, and yet this
phenomenon is largely understudied. It has particular importance in dipterans since some …

Abstract 'Omics' technologies have facilitated the identification of hundreds to thousands of
tick molecules that mediate tick feeding and play a role in the transmission of tick‐borne …

To further obtain insights into the Rhipicephalus microplus transcriptome, we used RNA-seq
to carry out a study of expression in (i) embryos;(ii) ovaries from partially and fully engorged …

Disease vectors such as mosquitoes and ticks play a major role in the emergence and re-
emergence of human and animal viral pathogens. Compared to mosquitoes, however, much …

Venom producing animals are ubiquitously disseminated among vertebrates and
invertebrates such as fish, snakes, scorpions, spiders, and ticks. Of the~ 890 tick species …

Species have definitive genomes. Even so, the transcriptional and translational products of
the genome are dynamic and subject to change over time. This is especially true for the …

Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐
scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal …

ABSTRACT The earliest concerns New Zealand farmers had about ticks are chronicled
here, together with the eventual invasion and establishment of Haemaphysalis longicornis …

High-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology has profoundly been involved in sequencing
whole genomes of several organisms in a fast and cost-effective manner. Although HTS …
