Molecular Characterization of Bm86 Gene for Tick Vaccine Development

This Book is a must have publication on the shelves of every library of medical practitioners, veterinarians, scientists, biology students, vaccine developing industries, universities, colleges of animal health and production technology, parasitologists, entomologists, researchers including postgraduate student. The methodology and findings in this book will help researchers working in the field of ticks and tick-borne diseases, control and epidemiology to discover novel techniques especially in molecular and bioinformatics in the quest for alternative control of ticks in Nigeria and the West and Central African Sub-regions. The content of this book will assist scientists and professionals in the field of veterinary medicine and agriculture in improving control of ticks and tick-borne diseases in livestock this is because the orphan anti-tick vaccine available only in Europe and South America can be introduced in the Sub-Saharan Africa and possibly adopt the recombinant technology in the commercial production of the tick vaccine for farmers use in the routine integrated tick control, thereby reducing the amount of chemical acaricides application in livestock and poultry.
