Molecular cloning, sequence analysis, and immune recognition of Bm95 from Thai strains of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus.

The efficacy of existing vaccines against Thai strains of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus remains to be determined, and these vaccine antigens should be compared to homologues derived from local strains. The purpose of this study was to compare Bm95 from Thai R. microplus to the previously reported sequence from Argentinean ticks.
