    Substances in tick spit actuate insusceptible reaction smothering proteins in cattles

    Scientists from Hokkaido University, Japan and Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul and Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, have revealed that substances in tick saliva trigger immune response-suppressing proteins in cows that facilitates the transmission of tick-borne diseases. The finding was published in the journal Scientific Reports and could assist in the
