Abstract: As tick-borne diseases are on the rise, an international effort resulted in the sequence and assembly of the first genome of a tick vector. This result promotes research on comparative, functional and evolutionary genomics and the study of tick-host-pathogen interactions to improve human, animal and ecosystem health on a global scale.<br />National Institutes of Health (U.S.)<br />National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (U.S.)<br />United States.
