News about Anti-Tick Vaccine Research going on in Rhode Island.
This project stems from the observation that an acquired tick resistance (ATR) to blacklegged tick (Ixodes scapularis) blood feeding provides partial (~70%) protection from Lyme disease spirochete infection in a Guinea pig (GP) model.
Specifically, this project's goal is to identify a vaccination strategy for protecting against a broad array of tick-transmitted infections, testing the hypothesis that this protection can be achieved by using one or more tick salivary antigens to induce an ATR response.
