This resulting database provides a distribution and diversity outline of tick-borne viromes and microbiomes in the global health community, demonstrating the need to increase sharing of NGS and co
Ipers-1, Ipers-2, Ipers-3, Ipers-4, Ipers-5 are from I. persulcatus collected in northern China; iper1 and iper2 are from I. persulcatus collected in Japan; iper3 is from I. persulcatus collected in R
Lyme borreliosis is an emerging tick-borne disease caused by spirochetes Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. In Europe, Lyme borreliosis is predominantly caused by Borrelia afzelii and transmitted by Ixo
Most macro-organisms house diverse microbial communities and with increasing use of high-throughput sequencing our knowledge of their microbiomes is growing. Of particular interest are disease vectors
The relative risk for the collection of PCR-positive ticks and collection of ticks harboring uncommon haplotypes was calculated for waypoint 70 vs. the other two waypoints.
