A Novel Rhipicephalus microplus Estrogen Related Receptor (RmERR), a Molecular and In Silico Characterization of a Potential Protein Binding Estrogen.

ABSTRACT: The search for targets to control ticks and tick-borne diseases has been an ongoing problem, and so far, we still need efficient, non-chemical alternatives for this purpose. This search must consider new alternatives. For example genomics analysis is a widely applied tool in veterinary health studies to control pathogens. On the other hand, we propose that regulation of endocrine mechanisms represents a feasible alternative to biologically controlling tick infestations. Thus, we performed the molecular identification of an estrogen-related receptor gene of Rhipicephalus microplus called RmERR by RT-PCR in tick ovaries, embryonic cells, and hemolymph, which allowed us to analyze its expression and propose potential functions in endocrine mechanisms and developmental stages.
