<i>Ehrlichia ruminantium</i> infection is associated with tissue-specific microbial community shifts in <i>Amblyomma gemma</i> ticks from cattle in Kenya
2026-05-27
Abstract excerpt
Tick-borne pathogens can reshape vector microbiomes in ways that influence pathogen colonisation and transmission, yet the interplay between Ehrlichia ruminantium and the microbiota of its tick vectors remains uncharacterised. We profiled bacterial communities in haemolymph, midgut, and salivary glands of infected (n = 11) and uninfected (n = 12) Am. gemma ticks, a vector of E. ruminantium in East Africa, colle...
