Pathogens, endosymbionts, and blood-meal sources of host-seeking ticks in the fast-changing Maasai Mara wildlife ecosystem

2020-01-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The role of questing ticks in the epidemiology of tick-borne diseases in Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve (MMNR), an ecosystem with intensified human-wildlife-livestock interactions, remains poorly understood. Therefore, we carried out a survey of the diversity of questing ticks, their blood-meal hosts, and tick-borne pathogens to understand potential effects to human and livestock health....
