The differences in microbial communities and Tick-Borne pathogens between Dermacentor marginatus and Hyalomma asiaticum collected from the Northwestern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China
The present study demonstrated that SFGR were the dominant tick-borne bacteria in D. marginatus collected from Wenquan. Particularly, this study reported for the first time the presence of B. bavariensis, B. yangtzensis, and B. miyamotoi in D. marginatus in China. Extensive and comprehensive investigations into the prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in ticks, host animals, and local populations in XUAR should be conducted.
