Conference abstracts... Mexico City, Mexico: Academic Committee ICOPA Congressc2014  aTicks and tick-borne diseases (TBDs) cuse economic losses to small farmers due to the high mortality in suscepti ble breeds, reduced in milk production and resilience in animal traction (plow-power). The need to improve the local breeds of cattle in Uganda through cross bree ding with the exotic breeds has always been a challenge because of the high mortali ties by TBDs. Ticks control are of economic importance mainly because the parasites they transmit which cause huge losses as a result of high mortalities. Tick contro l is of increasingly concern due to the escalating costs of acaricide and increased selection of acaricide resistance in ticks. Strategies of adopting anti-tick vaccines, therefor e represents a promising alternative including advantages, of environmental safety and l ow cost of production. The aim of this abstract is show the results of production and characterization of recombinant protein Ra92A from Rhipicephalus appendiculatus , a gut variant Bm86 gene.  aMilk production  aTick-borne diseases  aCarrapato  aTick1 aSAIMO-KAHWA, M.1 aCUNHA, R.
