High Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever incidence linked to greater genetic diversity and differentiation in Hyalomma marginatum populations in Türkiye

This study provides the first comprehensive analysis of H. marginatum genetic diversity in Türkiye, revealing significant differentiation in populations from CCHF-endemic regions. These results underscore the importance of considering fine-scale genetic diversity to fully understand the drivers of genetic variation in ticks and their implications for vectorial capacity.
