TICKHUNTER: A Targeted Hybridization-Capture Sequencing Approach for the Detection and Characterization of Tick-borne Pathogens and Blood Meals

Abstract excerpt

Ticks are vectors of many debilitating pathogens that are transmitted during blood meal acquisition. As both vector and pathogen species continue to emerge, there is a critical need for improved pathogen diagnostic and host remnant identification methods to develop interventions. Current pathogen detection methods are limited in their ability to subtype and detect emerging variants and non-vector borne “look-alike...
