Abstract excerpt

Ticks harbor diverse Rickettsia spp., including several spotted fever group rickettsiae of veterinary and public health importance. However, information on tick-associated Rickettsia spp. in Zambia remains geographically limited. In this retrospective molecular survey, we examined 1,587 individual ticks collected from vegetation and domestic animals in eight provinces of Zambia during 2016-2018. Ticks were...
