Background and Aims: Outbreaks of severe and chronic tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are on
the rise. This is through the transmission of infectious disease agents to humans during tick …

Ticks are vectors of a variety of pathogens that can infect humans and animals. Ticks also
harbor non-pathogenic microbiota. This study characterized the microbiota of the ticks …

Ticks and the microbes they transmit have emerged in sub-Saharan Africa as a major threat
to veterinary and public health. Although progress has been made in detecting and …

Our objective of this study was to explore the bacterial microbiome in fresh or fresh-frozen
adult Amblyomma maculatum (Gulf Coast ticks) using extracts enriched for microbial DNA …

Ticks are competent hematophagous vectors of arthropod-borne diseases globally. In
Malaysia, the extent of tick-borne diseases is still rarely studied and neglected. There are …

The bacterial microbiome of ticks is notoriously diverse, but the factors leading to this
diversity are poorly understood. We sequenced bacterial 16S rRNA amplicons from …

In many areas of Africa, recent studies highlighted the great impact of ticks on animal and
human health throughout the continent. On the other hand, very limited information on the …

Background The composition of the microbial flora associated with ixodid ticks has been
studied in several species, revealing the importance of geographical origin, developmental …

Ticks vector diverse pathogenic bacteria that are important to identify in public health and
veterinary contexts. Technological advances in high throughput sequencing have given an …

Background Nearly a quarter of emerging infectious diseases identified in the last century
are arthropod-borne. Although ticks and insects can carry pathogenic microorganisms, non …
