Evolution and comparative genomics of tick-associated <i>Francisella</i> endosymbionts: insights into metabolic pathways and historical biogeographic patterns

2025-07-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4> Abstract </h4> Ticks (Ixodida) are the second most important vectors of infectious diseases in vertebrates, after mosquitoes. They also maintain mutualistic relationships with bacteria, such as endosymbionts that provide essential B vitamins absent in their blood diet. The most studied endosymbionts belong to the genera Coxiella , Midichloria , and Francisella . Francisella includes endosymbionts (FE),...
