Abstract excerpt
Hyalomma scupense, the main vector of tropical theileriosis, presents taxonomic challenges that impede vector surveillance. This study combines targeted sampling of 20 morphologically-confirmed specimens from El Hessiene, Tunisia (36°50'N 10°12'E) with global GenBank analysis of mitochondrial markers 16S rRNA, 12S rRNA, and COI to assess genetic diversity, phylogeographic structure, and regional gene flow. All...
