Sexual and regional differences in the microbiome and functional metagenome of the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum

2025-08-08

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <italic>Background</italic> Ticks are important vectors of pathogens that cause disease in humans and domestic and wild animals. Understanding how microbes within ticks interact among themselves and with their tick host is a significant step in controlling diseases vectored by ticks and other arthropods. We used Illumina sequencing of the 16S rRNA bacterial gene to characterize the d...
