Multiple detection of pathogens in ticks: development of a high throughput real time PCR chip used as a new epidemiologic investigative tool
2014-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Worldwide, ticks transmit more pathogens than other arthropods. Around 60 bacteria, 30 parasites and 100 viruses have been registered as tick-borne pathogens; a third of these pathogens are responsible for zoonoses. Usually, detection of tick-borne pathogens depends on the tick species collected: assays are performed for a restricted number of pathogens that are known to be transmitted by a particular tick species...
