Article Synopsis
- Tick-borne bacteria Rickettsia and Coxiella are linked to emerging diseases in humans and animals, and the Hyalomma ticks are known vectors for these pathogens.
- A study in Pakistan identified seven species of ticks infesting transhumant camels and conducted molecular assays to detect the presence of Rickettsia and Coxiella.
- The results showed the detection of Rickettsia aeschlimannii, Candidatus Rickettsia shennongii, and Coxiella burnetii, highlighting the potential health risks posed by these ticks to humans.
