Blood meal metabarcoding of the argasid tick (Ornithodoros turicata Dugès) reveals extensive vector‐host associations

2024-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Molecular methods to understand host feeding patterns of arthropod vectors are critical to assess exposure risk to vector‐borne disease and unveil complex ecological interactions. We build on our prior work discovering the utility of PCR‐Sanger sequencing blood meal analysis that work well for soft ticks (Acari: Argasidae), unlike for hard ticks (Acari: Ixodidae), thanks to their unique physiology that re...
