Transcriptome profile of Haemaphysalis longicornis (Acari: Ixodidae) exposed to C. citratus essential oil and citronellal

Many genes responsive to C. citratus oil and citronellal were stress-related and they include genes associated with adrenergic signalling/calcium channels, cGMP-PKG signaling, apoptosis, focal adhesion, ECM-receptor interaction, ubiquitin mediated proteolysis, mTOR signalling pathway, and longevity regulating pathway. Overall design: Transcriptome profile of adult unfed ticks treated with three concentrations of C. citratus essential oil and citronellal
