Molecular methods have recently revealed novel organisms inhabiting native Australian
ticks, some of which are potentially pathogenic due to their similarity to causes of known tick …

Globally, ticks are well known vectors of a number of pathogens, including members of the
genera Anaplasma, Borrelia, Ehrlichia, Babesia, and Theileria, which are associated with a …

Abstract Ticks Acari: Ixodida transmit a greater variety of pathogens than any other blood-
feeding group of arthropods. While numerous microbes have been identified inhabiting …

Ticks, as vectors of disease-causing bacteria, represent a significant threat to human and
animal health. Of particular concern is the genus Borrelia, which contains several …

In Australia, only three tick-borne pathogens (TBP) of pets are known; these include Babesia
gibsoni [1], Babesia vogeli [2, 3], and Anaplasma platys [4, 5] transmitted by the introduced …

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) studies show that mosquito and tick microbiomes
influence the transmission of pathogens, opening new avenues for vector-borne pathogen …

Ticks and tick-borne pathogens pose a significant threat to the health and welfare of humans
and animals. Our knowledge about pathogens carried by ticks of Australian wildlife is …

Ticks are haematophagous arthropods and major vectors of pathogenic microorganisms. In
Australia, over 74 species of ticks have been described, of which 13 are known to parasitise …

Ticks (Ixodida) represent one of the most important vector groups affecting human and
animal health, and in recent years there have been increasing concerns regarding the …

Advances in sequencing technologies have revealed the complex and diverse microbial
communities present in ticks (Ixodida). As obligate blood-feeding arthropods, ticks are …
