Evaluation of three mitochondrial DNA markers for species identification, genetic diversity assessment, and phylogenetic positioning of five Hyalomma tick species from Tunisia.

Abstract excerpt

Hyalomma ticks are important vectors of pathogens affecting human and animal health. This study aimed to assess the outputs of three molecular markers (16S, 12S rRNA, and COI) for accurate tick species molecular identification, genetic diversity assessment, and phylogenetic positioning of Hyalomma tick specimens from Tunisia. A total of 20 tickspecimens were collected from different hosts including cattle,...
