Tick-pathogen interactions and vector competence: identification of molecular drivers for tick-borne diseases

J De la Fuente, S Antunes, S Bonnet… - Frontiers in cellular …, 2017 - frontiersin.org
Ticks and the pathogens they transmit constitute a growing burden for human and animal
health worldwide. Vector competence is a component of vectorial capacity and depends on
genetic determinants affecting the ability of a vector to transmit a pathogen. These
determinants affect traits such as tick-host-pathogen and susceptibility to pathogen infection.
Therefore, the elucidation of the mechanisms involved in tick-pathogen interactions that
affect vector competence is essential for the identification of molecular drivers for tick-borne …
