Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Ticks are important ectoparasites for both humans and animals and can also transmit a wide range of different viral, bacterial, and parasitic pathogens, which are commonly known as "tick-borne pathogens" (TBPs). In Zambia (Southern Africa), a number of studies have been conducted on TBPs, but information on their distribution and genetic variation is still incomplete. METHODS: Between 2022 and 2023,...
