Metagenomics Characterization of < em > Ixodes ricinus < /em > Intestinal Microbiota as Major Vector of Tick-Borne Diseases in Domestic Animals

CONCLUSION: Our results indicated that metagenomics identifies bacteria genera and species which cannot be easily recognized by routine methods. The presence of such pathogenic bacteria indicates the importance of possible zoonotic diseases in this region which could affect public health. These results further substantiate the importance of advanced metagenomics analyses to identify neglected tick-borne pathogens which enable researchers to provide efficient mapping roads for the management of emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases.PMID:37822757 | PMC:PMC10562206 | DOI:10.18502/jad.v17i2.13620
