Molecular detection of Anaplasma bovis, Candidatus Anaplasma boleense and Rickettsia spp. in ticks infesting small ruminants.

Anaplasma spp. and Rickettsia spp. are intracellular vector-borne pathogens and harbored by a wide range of ticks and vertebrate hosts.

Association of SFG and Rickettsia shennongii with Different Hard Ticks Infesting Livestock Hosts.

Ixodid ticks are responsible for the transmission of various intracellular bacteria, such as the species. Little Information is available about the genetic characterization and epidemiology of spp. The current study was designed to assess the tick species infesting various livestock hosts and the associated spp.

Spatio-Temporal Patterns of Ticks and Molecular Survey of , with Notes on Their Phylogeny.

Hard ticks (Ixodida: Ixodidae) are medically important ectoparasites that feed on all classes of terrestrial vertebrates. Recently, we molecularly characterized hard ticks and associated spp. in the northern and central regions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan; however, this knowledge was missing in the southern regions.
