2007 journal article

Sequence and the developmental and tissue-specific regulation of the first complete vitellogenin messenger RNA from ticks responsible for heme sequestration

INSECT BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY, 37(4), 363–374.

By: M. Deborah n, S. Khalil n, L. Jeffers n, D. Sonenshine*, R. Mitchell*, C. Osgood*, R. Roe n

2002 review

Hemolymph proteins in ticks

[Review of ]. JOURNAL OF INSECT PHYSIOLOGY, 48(3), 269–278.

By: N. Gudderra n, D. Sonenshine*, C. Apperson n & R. Roe n

TL;DR: Hemolymph protein most studied in ticks has been vitellogenin (Vg), which is synthesized by the tick fat body after female adults obtain a blood meal, is released into the hemolymph and is absorbed by developing oocytes as Vn. (via Semantic Scholar)

2002 journal article

Tissue distribution and characterization of predominant hemolymph carrier proteins from Dermacentor variabilis and Ornithodoros parkeri

JOURNAL OF INSECT PHYSIOLOGY, 48(2), 161–170.

Absence of insect juvenile hormones in the American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis (Say) (Acari : Ixodidae), and in Ornithodoros parkeri Cooley (Acari : Argasidae)
