From: Fourteen anti-tick vaccine targets are variably conserved in cattle fever ticks
Protein conservation in 14 anti-tick targets evaluated in 167 samples of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus from North America (n = 145), South America (n = 17), and Pakistan (n = 5). The y-axis shows protein similarity; the x-axis is set to cross the y-axis at 0.80. Proteins are ranked from most to least conserved; the Bm86 protein (red box) used in all first-generation cattle vaccines is one of the least conserved proteins in our study
