In contrast to animals such as guinea pigs and rabbits, mice, do not develop the hall marks of tick-immunity upon repeated infestations with Ixodes scapularis ticks [18].
Upon repeated infestations of vertebrate hosts, antibodies to tick proteins were increasingly elaborated [33], [42], [43] and tick-immune serum passively transferred to naïve animals conferred partial protection from tick challenge, demonstrating a contribution of the humoral response [44], [45].
Unlike guinea pigs, rabbits provided a robust humoral response to tick salivary proteins upon repeated infestations with I. scapularis nymphs (Fig 1B) that resulted in rapid tick rejection within 24 48 h of attachment, as shown in a representative animal (Fig 7A) and impaired tick engorgement as observed in guinea pigs (Fig 4D).
Certain host animals can acquire immunity to tick bites after repeated infestations [ 13– 15].

In 1939 Trager showed that [26] repeated tick infestations provoked guinea pig immunity against D. variabilis salivary proteins characterized by cutaneous reactions at tick feeding sites that resulted in tick rejection within 24 48 h of attachment.
Repeat infestations were performed weekly for four weeks.
By most estimates, the vinchuca vanish within a week, and no houses have suffered repeat infestations, although some, like Ms. Saavedra's, have been repainted as a precaution.
