Tick manipulation of host skin processes for therapeutic target prediction

Reasoning that ticks manipulate host skin biological processes through salivary proteins, particularly protease inhibitors, to control coagulation, inflammation, wound healing, itch, and pain, and that computational PPI tools can predict relevant therapeutic targets.
