Molecular analysis of <i>Anaplasma ovis, Theileria ovis</i> and <i>Brucella abortus</i> in adult <i>Ornithodoros lahorensis</i> soft ticks (Acari: Ixodida: Argasidae) isolated from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China
This study provides fundamental evidence for the occurrence of <i>A. ovis</i>, <i>T. ovis</i> and <i>B. abortus</i> in <i>O. lahorensis</i>. Therefore, the potential threat of soft ticks to livestock and humans should not be ignored. This study expands the understanding of the existence of tick-borne pathogens in <i>O. lahorensis</i> and is expected to improve the strategies for prevention and control of ticks and tick-borne diseases in China.
