Activity of native tick kinins and peptidomimetics on the cognate target G protein‐coupled receptor from the cattle fever tick, Rhipicephalus microplus (Acari: Ixodidae)

The leucokinin-like peptide receptor from the cattle fever tick, Rhipicephalus microplus, is localized in the midgut periphery and receptor silencing with validated double-stranded RNAs causes a reproductive fitness cost
