Understanding the evolutionary structural variability and target specificity of tick salivary Kunitz peptides using next generation transcriptome data

BACKGROUND: Ticks are blood-sucking arthropods and a primary function of tick salivary proteins is to counteract the host’s immune response. Tick salivary Kunitz-domain proteins perform multiple functions within the feeding lesion and have been classified as venoms; thereby, constituting them as one...
