Abstract
Hyalomma anatolicum anatolicum and Rhipicephalus
(Boophilus) microplus are the most economically important
tick species in India and other tropical and subtropical
regions of the world and transmit pathogens causing animal
and human diseases. We demonstrated that vaccination of
animal by rHaa86 could be used for the control of both
H. a. anatolicum and R. (B.) microplus infestations. By
comparing the efficacy of rHaa86 and rBm86, it was
observed that vaccine based on rHaa86 will be more effective
in controlling homologous challenge infestations (68Æ7%
against larvae and 45Æ8% against adults). The results of this
trial demonstrated that species-specific antigens are the better
choice for vaccine development and could serve as an
effective tool for the integrated control of H. a. anatolicum.
