Aquaporins modulate the cold response of Haemaphysalis longicornis via changes in gene and protein expression of fatty acids

Abstract 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. Aquaporins (AQPs) are essential membrane proteins that enhance cold tolerance in many ani...
