Abstract
- Ticks are obligate blood-sucking parasitic arthropods. When sucking the blood of hosts, they can also transmit a variety of pathogens to hosts that severely endanger the health of humans and animals. The spermatheca is an organ for the storage and protection of sperm and an important component of the reproductive system of female ticks. The spermatheca content changes dramatically over time after copulation. In particular, some proteins and polypeptide substances can influence the physiological functions of female ticks and promote blood feeding and egg laying by female ticks. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying the productive process of Haemaphysalis longicornis, data-independent acquisition (DIA) quantitative proteomics technology was used to perform in-depth research of the dynamic changes in all proteins in the spermatheca of ticks within a short time after copulation to look for key proteins in the spermatheca contents after copulation that affect the reproduction of female ticks in order to provide meaningful information for the comprehensive prevention and control of ticks.
