This protocol allows us to use a reduced number of ticks which reduces the cost of colony maintenance and decreases the number of vertebrae animals needed for tick feeding. This protocol requires approximately 20 ticks. However, the main advantage

The present protocol describes the isolation of microRNAs from tick salivary glands and purified extracellular vesicles. This is a universal procedure that combines commonly used reagents and supplies. The method also allows the use of a small number of ticks, resulting in quality microRNAs that can be readily sequenced.
