Pleased to share our latest research on the expression and role of Aquaporins in the cold response of Haemaphysalis longicornis

Here are our findings: doi.org/10.1186/s130...
Aquaporins modulate the cold response of Haemaphysalis longicornis via changes in gene and protein expression of fatty acids - Parasites & Vectors
Background As ectotherms that spend most of their life in the environment (off-host), ticks face challenges in maintaining water balance, and some species must cope with severe low winter temperatures...
