NCT ID NCT07479537

First seen Mar 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 07, 2026 · Updated 10 times

Summary

This study looks at whether people who have been bitten many times by ticks can develop a natural resistance. Researchers will compare tick-feeding in people with a history of tick bites to those who have rarely been bitten. The goal is to understand how the body reacts to tick bites, which could help create a vaccine that targets ticks and prevents tick-borne diseases.
