The project aims to develop anti-tick vaccines by studying the salivary proteins of the Ixodes ricinus tick, which spreads Lyme disease. It focuses on understanding these proteins' roles in tick feeding and pathogen transmission to identify potential vaccine candidates.
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 pigs vaccinated with a salivary cystatin of Ixodes scapularis, the Lyme vector in the USA, are partially…
