Insights into the Role of Tick Salivary Protease Inhibitors during Ectoparasite–Host Crosstalk
Protease inhibitors (PIs) are ubiquitous regulatory proteins present in all kingdoms. They play crucial tasks in controlling biological processes directed by proteases which, if not tightly regulated, can damage the host organism. PIs can be classified according to their targeted proteases or their...
