Zooprophylaxis may affect the prevalence of infection in vector ticks by various factors. If we knew more about how they naturally use a blood anticoagulant to feed, we might be able to control ticks by developing an antibody to a tick anticoagulant. Furthermore, collar scales were chosen to avoid detecting the borreliae that persist in the skin after feeding of the infected ticks, which may enable infection of ticks by "extended co-feeding" (25). |
