Mechanism of Immunity to Tick infestation in Livestock

چکیده
Immunological interaction at the tick host interface involves both innate and acquired host defenses against infestation and Immunomodulatory countermeasures by thetick. Acquired resistance to tick infestation involves humoral and cellular immlmoregulatory effector pathways. Tick-borne disease-causing agentspr exploit tick suppression of host defenses during transmission and initiation of infection. Because of the public health importance of ticks and tickborne diseases, it is crucial that we understand these interactions and exploit them in novel immunological control.
