Characterisation of tropomyosin and paramyosin as vaccine candidate molecules for the poultry red mite, Dermanyssus gallinae

Table 1 Poultry red mite mortality 48 h after feeding on blood enriched with antibodies. Values shown are for all recombinant proteins and native protein extracts evaluated at Moredun Research Institute thus far. Data were normalised by subtracting the percentage mortality of the mites in the control groups from the mortality of the mites in the test groups
