Abstract
⺠Vaccination with tick subolesin controls Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus infestations in cattle. ⺠Ticks fed on vaccinated cattle show lower subolesin mRNA levels when compared to controls, resembling RNAi results. ⺠Anaplasma marginale and Babesia bigemina infection decrease in ticks fed on vaccinated cattle and after subolesin knockdown. ⺠Targeting subolesin expression by vaccination or RNAi results in lower tick subolesin mRNA and pathogen infection levels.
