The increasing prevalence and expanding distribution of tick-borne viruses globally have
raised health concerns, but the full repertoire of the tick virome has not been assessed. We …

Great emphasis has been placed on bacterial microbiomes in human and animal systems.
In recent years, advances in metagenomics have allowed for the detection and …

Wildlife is the source of many emerging infectious diseases. Several viruses from the order
Nidovirales have recently emerged in wildlife, sometimes with severe consequences for …

Background Ticks act as important vectors of infectious agents, and several emerging tick-

Focusing on the utility of ticks as xenosurveillance sentinels to expose circulating pathogens
in Kenyan drylands, host-feeding ticks collected from wild ungulates [buffaloes, elephants …

Introduction Ticks are the most important obligate blood-feeding vectors of human
pathogens. With the advance of high-throughput sequencing, more and more bacterial …

Background Ticks are significant vectors of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, and
