Rickettsia infection rate along an altitudinal gradient as influenced by population genetic structure of Ixodid ticks

2023-02-09

Abstract excerpt

Ixodid ticks, such as Ixodes ovatus and Haemaphysalis flava , are important vectors of tick-borne diseases in Japan, such as Japanese spotted fever caused by Rickettsia japonica (i.e., the pathogen). This study describes the population genetic structure and gene flow of I. ovatus and H. flava and their Rickettsia infection rates along an altitudinal gradient. A total of 346 adult I. ovatus and 243 H. flava were an...
