“…Repeated infestation with Argas persicus larvae has been shown to induce resistance in chickens against the tick>,species (Dusbabek et al, 1994). However, to date, information concerning the development of a chicken tick vaccine is very limited, in contrast to the significant amount of research and information available on cattle tick vaccines.…”

Studies were conducted into the development of anti-tick vaccines against two tick species, namely Boophilus annulatus Say, 1821 and Argas persicus (Oken) 1818, which, respectively, are responsible for high economic losses in the cattle and chicken industries in Egypt. Repeated infestation of spring chicken with Argas persicus females stimulated 35.9 % resistance to tick feeding compared to 20.4 % in controls. This resistance was associated with the presence of antibody activity to tick salivary gland antigens. There was increase of both the chicken serum total protein and the number of protein bands separated by SDS-PAGE, which suggested an increase in immunoglobulins. Chicken resistance to tick feeding was also induced by repeated injection (vaccination) with crude Argas persicus salivary gland antigens, with intramascular injection being more efficient at inducing immunity than subcutaneous injection.Prolonged infestation with Boophilus annulatus ticks induced immunity in cattle. Salivary gland and gut crude extracts of cattle exposed to the ticks contained antigenic proteins, with dominant 66 and 150 KDa glycoproteins. Antibodies against the two extracts or PAGE-separated antigens were detected in cattle that resisted tick feeding. Cell-mediated immunity (CMI) was also detected. The immune response was strong in non-infested Bos indicus and Bos indicus x Bos taunts Linneaeus, 1766 crossbreeds with low infestation, and weak in heavily infested Bos taurus.Resume-Des etudes ont ete menees pour la mise au point de vaccins anti-tiques contre deux especes de tiques, Boophilus annulatus Say, 1821 et Argas persicus (Oken) 1818, qui sont responsables respectivement de pertes economiques importantes dans la production de bovins et de poulets en Egypte. Des infestations repetees de poussins avec des femelles d'Argas persicus stimulent la resistance aux repas des tiques (35,9%) compart aux temoins (20,4%). Cette resistance est associee a la presence d'anticorps contre les antigenes des glandes salivaires de tiques. On observe a la fois une augmentation des proteines totales du serum des poussins et du nombre de bandes proteiniques separees par SDS-PAGE, ce qui suggerent une augmentation des immunoglobulines. La resistance des poussins aux repas des tiques est egalement induite par des injections repetees (vaccination) d'extraits bruts d'antigenes de glandes salivaires d'Argas persicus. Les injections intramusculaires induisent plus efficacement l'immunite que les injections souscutanees.Des infestations prolonge'es avec des tiques de l'espece Boophilus annulatus induisent une immunity du betail. Les extraits bruts de glande salivaire et d'estomac de bovins exposes aux tiques contiennent

Ectoparasites are important to the one health concept because their parasitism can result in the transmission of pathogens, allergic reactions, the release of toxins, morbidity, and even death of the host. Ectoparasites can affect host physiology, as reflected in immune defenses and body condition as well as hematological and biochemical parameters. Thus, evidence that ectoparasites influence host hematological parameters was systematically reviewed, and the methodological quality of these studies was analyzed. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines were followed, and the studies included were limited to those that evaluated changes in hematological tests in ectoparasite-infested and non-infested animals, and bias and methodological quality were evaluated using the Animal Research: Reporting of In Vivo Experiments guideline. Thirty-four studies were selected and information about the host, ectoparasite infestation, blood collection, and analysis was collected and compared whenever possible. In this review, the presence of ectoparasites influenced both the red series and the white series of hematological parameters. Among the main parameters analyzed, hematocrit, red blood cells, hemoglobin, and lymphocytes showed reductions, probably due to ectoparasite blood-feeding, while including eosinophils, neutrophils, and basophils increased in infested animals due to the host immune response. However, methodologic improvements are needed to reduce the risk of bias, enhance the reproducibility of such studies, and ensure results aligned with the mechanisms that act in the ectoparasite-host relationship.
