Characterisation and genomic analysis of bacterial nutritional endosymbionts in Australian ticks from shotgun metagenomic sequencing

2026-08-13

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Ticks are obligate hematophagous arthropods and feed exclusively on blood. As blood is nutrient-poor, ticks rely on bacterial endosymbionts to synthesise nutrients, yet the diversity and functional roles of these symbionts in Australian ticks remain largely uncharacterised. This is critical to address as these ticks are of high medical importance in Australia. In this study, shotgun metagenomic...
