Detection of pathogenic bacteria in ticks from Isiolo and Kwale counties of Kenya using metagenomics

2023-12-23

Abstract excerpt

Ticks are arachnid ectoparasites which rank second only to mosquitoes in the transmission of human diseases including bacteria responsible for anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, spotted fevers, and Lyme disease among other febrile illnesses. Due to paucity of data on bacteria transmitted by ticks in Kenya, this study undertook a bacterial metagenomic-based characterization of ticks collected from Isiolo, a semi-arid past...
