Identification of Residual Blood Proteins in Ticks by Mass Spectrometry Proteomics

Identification of Residual Blood Proteins in Ticks by Mass Spectrometry Proteomics

Mass spectrometry–based proteomics of individual ticks demonstrated persistence of mammalian host blood components, including α- and β-globin chains, histones, and mitochondrial enzymes, in Ixodes scapularis and Amblyomma americanum ticks for months after molting. Residual host proteins may identify...
