Diversity of Rickettsiales in the Microbiome of the Lone Star Tick, Amblyomma americanum [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2014 ABSTRACT Ticks are important vectors for many emerging pathogens. However, they are also infected with many symbionts and commensals, often competing for the same niches. In this paper, we characterize the microbiome of Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae), the lone star tick, in order to better ...
