Project description:Applications of transcriptomics have significantly advanced the identification of numerous tick salivary molecules involved in feeding and the transmission of tick-borne pathogens. In this study, we analyze the salivary gland transcriptome of Ixodes scapularis, the main vector of Borrelia burgdorferi in the U.S., at single cell resolution.
