为解决血红扇头蜱(Rh. sanguineus)及其传播病原体的防控难题，研究人员首次揭示了miR-71*(miRNA-71的副链)与弗洛蒂林-1(Flotillin-1)在蜱卵发育中的拮抗调控机制。通过生物信息学预测和双荧光素酶报告系统验证，发现miR-71直接靶向调控Flotillin-1。功能实验表明，抑制miR ...

The publication is based on a foundational research project that identified the genetic markers for sex determination in the tick species Rhipicephalus microplus, one of two invasive cattle fever ...

“The pathogen (Rickettsia rickettsii) can be transmitted by brown dog ticks (Rhipicephalus sanguineus) which are closely associated with domestic dogs in urban and peri-urban environments ...

The tick in question is typically the brown dog tick (Rhipicephalus sanguineus). Brown dog ticks are a cosmopolitan species, meaning they can be found all over the world except for the United Kingdom.
