Microbial communities in <i>Ornithodoros phacochoerus</i> ticks: spatial structure and influence of African swine fever virus infectious status
2026-02-26
Abstract excerpt
<h4> A bstract </h4> Ornithodoros phacochoerus are nidicolous soft ticks of the Ornithodoros moubata complex of species known to be vectors of the African swine fever (ASF) virus. These Ornithodoros ticks depend on endosymbionts to produce essential nutrients necessary for their development. However, endosymbionts are only a part of the complex microbiota hosted by the tick.
