Ticks are blood feeding parasites transmitting a wide variety of pathogens to their vertebrate hosts. The vector competence of ticks is tightly linked with their immune system. Despite its importance, our knowledge of tick innate immunity is rather limited and lags behind other blood-feeding vectors. This chapter summarizes and provides an overview of the up-to date achievements in the research of cellular immune reactions and immune molecules in numerous tick species.
