<i>Rickettsia</i> infection rate along an altitudinal gradient as influenced by population genetic structure of Ixodid ticks
2022-07-22
Abstract excerpt
Ixodid ticks, such as Ixodes ovatus and Haemaphysalis flava, are important vectors of tick-borne diseases in Japan, such as Japanese spotted fever caused by Rickettsia japonica . This study describes the population genetic structure and gene flow of I. ovatus and H. flava and their Rickettsia infection rates along an altitudinal gradient. A total of 346 adult I. ovatus and 243 H. flava were analyzed for th...
