Tick Ecdysteroid Hormone, Global Microbiota/<i>Rickettsia</i> Signaling in the Ovary versus Carcass during Vitellogenesis in Part-Fed (Virgin) American Dog Ticks, <i>Dermacentor variabilis</i>

The transovarial transmission of tick-borne bacterial pathogens is an important mechanism for their maintenance in natural populations and transmission, causing disease in humans and animals. The mechanism for this transmission and the possible role of tick hormones facilitating this process have ne...
