Isolation, recombinant expression and characterization of polymorphism of BM86 vaccine antigen homologues from rhipicephalus appendiculatus.
Commercial vaccines based on the Bm86 tick gut antigen are used to control Boophilus microplus. B. Decoloratus and B. annulatus ticks in Australia, South America abd Asia. The vaccine also exhibits potential for control of Hyalomma anatolicum and H. dromedarii but do not induce significant protectio...
