Another tick bites the dust: exploring the association of microbial composition with a broad transmission competence of tick vector species
6 Oct 2023
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Ticks harbor and transmit many different pathogens. While some species are competent vectors of a single pathogen, mono-competent vectors (MCV), other species are proven to be competent vectors of several pathogens, pluri-competent vectors (PCV). Such a difference in vector competence might be related to the microbiome. To better comprehend its influence on the vector competence of ticks for one or...
