Microbial Composition of Haemaphysalis longicornis in Shaanxi Province, Determined Through Next-Generation Sequencing
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Ticks are parasitic organisms that can transmit a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms. They are the second most common vectors of diseases affecting humans and animals. The occurrence and transmission of tick-borne diseases has recently shown increasing or fluctuating trends. DNA was extracted after the collection of tick […]
Molecular Characterization of Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Babesia, and Borrelia in Ticks from Guangdong Province of Southern China
Announcing a new article publication for Zoonoses journal. Tick-borne pathogens have become emerging global health threats in humans and animals. The objective of this study was to investigate Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Babesia, and Borrelia in ticks in southern China. Ticks were collected from animals and identified to the species level. Tick-borne Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, Babesia, and Borrelia were tested by PCR assays, and analyzed by […]
