In silico prediction of tick vaccine candidates
ASP & ARC/NHMRC Research Network for Parasitology Annual Conference (Glenelg, S.A., 06/07/2008–09/07/2008)

Abstract
The control of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus infestations and costs incurred through productions losses amount to $175m per annum for the Australian beef industry and an estimated US$2.5 billion dollars worldwide. A new vaccine for the prevention and control of infestations has been identified as a high research priority. Here we present results of our reverse vaccinology approach that has been used to identify potential vaccine candidates through a combination of an in silico analysis and gene expression studies by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR).
