Nanopore sequencing reveals a diversity of microorganisms in ticks from Ethiopia

Abstract excerpt

Ethiopia is home to a diverse group of ixodid ticks that are known to transmit disease to both animals and humans. Recent advances in metagenome sequencing show there is more microorganism diversity found in ticks than previously known. Compared to amplicon-based gene identification methods, agnostic metagenomic sequencing provides broader insights into the diversity of microorganisms in ticks, providing...
