Detekce glyoxylátové dráhy v klíštěti \kur{Ixodes ricinus}
PAVLASOVÁ, Veronika
Ticks are important blood-feeding ectoparasites and vectors of human and animal diseases. The development of rational anti-tick vaccines and drugs is strongly dependent on the identification of biochemical differences between ticks and vertebrates. The glyoxylate cycle was so far found only in bacteria, plants, fungi, and nematodes. Surprisingly, one article described an increase of glyoxylate, a product of the glyoxylate cycle, during embryogenesis in ticks. Aim of my work was to confirm the presence of the glyoxylate cycle (isocitrate lyase) in ticks, mainly in the developing eggs of Ixodes ricinus, by setting-up the biochemical test coupled with a specific inhibitor.
