Distinct Geographic Distribution of <i>Candidatus</i> Rickettsia <i>jingxinensis</i> and <i>Rickettsia heilongjiangensis</i> in <i>Haemaphysalis longicornis</i> Ticks from Northeast and East-Central China

BACKGROUND: ticks collected from two geographically and ecologically distinct regions in China. METHODS: -like endosymbionts (CLEs). Phylogenetic analyses, including polygene sequence analysis, were performed to ensure the accuracy of species identification and to explore genetic relationships. RESULTS: < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: in the central and eastern regions. These findings, supported by polygenic evidence, provide essential epidemiological data for understanding regional tick-borne disease risks and highlight the need for continued region-specific surveillance.

BACKGROUND: ticks collected from two geographically and ecologically distinct regions in China. METHODS: -like endosymbionts (CLEs). Phylogenetic analyses, including polygene sequence analysis, were performed to ensure the accuracy of species identification and to explore genetic relationships. RESULTS: < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: in the central and eastern regions. These findings, supported by polygenic evidence, provide essential epidemiological data for understanding regional tick-borne disease risks and highlight the need for continued region-specific surveillance.
