- - Ticks in Mazandaran, northern Iran, are potential carriers of Borrelia bacteria, which can lead to diseases in humans and animals, and the region supports a wide variety of tick species.
- - The study involved collecting over 2,000 ticks from various hosts, identifying Borrelia DNA in several pools from Rhipicephalus annulatus and Ixodes ricinus species through real-time PCR.
- - Genetic analysis revealed that the identified strains of Borrelia had high genetic similarity to B. theileri, indicating its presence in northern Iran, with implications of tick subspeciation and potential introduction of infected ticks from other regions.
