Key Points

This research examines how changes in prostaglandin E₂ levels in tick saliva affect immune suppression during different stages of tick feeding.
Investigated prostaglandin E₂ levels in tick saliva across different developmental stages.
Assessed immunomodulatory effects of saliva during blood feeding.
Increased prostaglandin E₂ levels correlate with enhanced immunosuppressive effects.
Findings indicate that stage-dependent changes are crucial for understanding tick-host interactions.
