Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule selected from the group consisting of: (i) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence that encodes an amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 167. SEQ ID NO:170 and SEQ ID NO:172; (ii) a flea nucleic acid molecule comprising a homologue of any of said nucleic acid molecules of (i), wherein said homologue encodes a protein containing amino acid deletions, substitutions or insertions, wherein said protein encoded by said homologue comprises at least one epitope that elicits an antibody response against a protein encoded by any of said nucleic acid molecules of (i); and (iii) a nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleic acid sequence fully complementary to a nucleic acid sequence of any of said nucleic acid molecules of (i) or (ii).
