Abstract

This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY).-- de la Fuente et al. ; 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. ; The National Institutes of Health, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services provided principle funding for the sequence and assembly of the I. scapularis genome. ; Peer Reviewed
