Exon-intron structure and sequence variation of the calreticulin gene among Rhipicephalus sanguineus group ticks

BACKGROUND: Calreticulin proteins (CRTs) are important components of tick saliva, which is involved in the blood meal success, pathogen transmission and host allergic responses. The characterization of the genes encoding for salivary proteins, such as CRTs, is pivotal to understand the mechanisms of...
