Full-length 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing reveals dynamics of tick-adapted and environmentally derived bacteria in the microbiome of the black-legged tick, <i>Ixodes scapularis</i> in Nova Scotia, Canada

2026-06-12

Abstract excerpt

Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the spirochaete bacterium Borrelia ( Borreliella ) burgdorferi . The black-legged tick Ixodes scapularis , which transmits B. burgdorferi and several other human pathogens, is endemic to the eastern United States and, due to climate change, is rapidly expanding into central and eastern Canada. Amplification and sequencing of bacterial DNA from I. scapularis is i...
