Abstract
The present invention is applied to the field of Biotechnology and Immunology and refers to combinations of immunogenic peptides, chimeric peptides, compositions that comprise them and the uses thereof for control of ticks, particularly ticks of the species Rhipicephalus microplus. The present invention further provides kits containing the combinations, chimeric peptides and/or compositions comprising the combinations of immunogenic peptides, and a method for inducing immune response in animals, particularly bovines.
Claims17
A peptide combination comprising at least two immunogenic peptides having different amino acid sequences, wherein each of the at least two immunogenic peptides consists of an amino acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs:
- 1-12.

- 1-12, wherein the at least two immunogenic peptide sequences are linked by one or more peptide bonds, optionally via a spacer.
An immunogenic composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and:
- (a) a peptide combination comprising at least two immunogenic peptides having different amino acid sequences, wherein each of the at least two immunogenic peptides consists of an amino acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs:
- 1-12;
- or
- (b) a chimeric peptide comprising at least two immunogenic peptide sequences, each consisting of an amino acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs:
- 1-12, wherein the at least two immunogenic peptide sequences are linked by one or more peptide bonds, optionally via a spacer.
