Abstract
It is well established that acquired immunity against tick infestation can be induced by repeated tick infestation or by active immunization with eith er crude or purified native as well as recombinant antigens. This review pr ovides insights into the development of tick vaccines with reference to ide ntification, purification and molecular cloning of candidate target antigen s.
