Tick Immunobiology and Extracellular Traps: An Integrative Vision to Control of Vectors

Ticks are hematophagous ectoparasites that infest a diverse number of vertebrate hosts. The tick immunobiology plays a significant role in establishing and transmitting many pathogens to their hosts. To control tick infestations, the acaricide application is a commonly used method with severe enviro...
