Bioinformatic prediction of G protein-coupled receptor encoding sequences from the transcriptome of the foreleg, including the Haller's organ, of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus australis
Munoz S, Guerrero F, Kellogg A, Heekin A, Leung M
PLoS One . 2017 Feb; 12(2):e0172326. PMID: 28231302
The cattle tick of Australia, Rhipicephalus australis, is a vector for microbial parasites that cause serious bovine diseases. The Haller's organ, located in the tick's forelegs, is crucial for host...

Prediction of G protein-coupled receptor encoding sequences from the synganglion transcriptome of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus
Guerrero F, Kellogg A, Ogrey A, Heekin A, Barrero R, Bellgard M, et al.
Ticks Tick Borne Dis . 2016 Feb; 7(5):670-677. PMID: 26922323
The cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, is a pest which causes multiple health complications in cattle. The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) super-family presents a candidate target for developing novel tick...

The ovarian transcriptome of the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, feeding upon a bovine host infected with Babesia bovis
Heekin A, Guerrero F, Bendele K, Saldivar L, Scoles G, Dowd S, et al.
Parasit Vectors . 2013 Dec; 6:276. PMID: 24330595
Background: Cattle babesiosis is a tick-borne disease of cattle with the most severe form of the disease caused by the apicomplexan, Babesia bovis. Babesiosis is transmitted to cattle through the...

Gut transcriptome of replete adult female cattle ticks, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, feeding upon a Babesia bovis-infected bovine host
Heekin A, Guerrero F, Bendele K, Saldivar L, Scoles G, Dowd S, et al.
Parasitol Res . 2013 Jun; 112(9):3075-90. PMID: 23749091
As it feeds upon cattle, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is capable of transmitting a number of pathogenic organisms, including the apicomplexan hemoparasite Babesia bovis, a causative agent of bovine babesiosis. The...

Analysis of Babesia bovis infection-induced gene expression changes in larvae from the cattle tick, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus
Heekin A, Guerrero F, Bendele K, Saldivar L, Scoles G, Gondro C, et al.
Parasit Vectors . 2012 Aug; 5:162. PMID: 22871314
Background: Cattle babesiosis is a tick-borne disease of cattle that has severe economic impact on cattle producers throughout the world's tropical and subtropical countries. The most severe form of the...
