Abstract Iron is an essential element for most organisms, including hematophagous arthropods, which are critical vectors for dozens of pathogens, seriously affecting the health of human beings and livestock. The mechanisms of iron acquisition by hematophagous arthropods remain incompletely characterized. Symbionts have established nutritionally reciprocal associations with arthropod hosts during long-term coevolution, endowing them with the potential to serve as an iron source.
1. Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! Shikimic acid (SA) was first extracted and identified in 1885 from the fruit of the Japanese plant shikimi-no-ki. (1) (1) As shown in Figure 1, the structure of SA was elucidated as a 3,4,5-trihydroxy-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid later after 50 years, and the compound is now assigned the CAS number 138-59-0.
