Metagenomic Analysis of Tick-Borne Viruses Associated With <i>Hyalomma asiaticum</i> From Different Hosts in the Surrounding Areas of Urumqi, China. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Tick‐borne viruses (TBVs) represent a serious risk to global public and animal health. Despite the remarkable species diversity of ticks documented in Urumqi and its adjacent regions of China, scientific investigations into TBVs in this ecologically significant area have been strikingly scarce.

Comparative mitogenomics elucidates the population genetic structure of Amblyomma testudinarium in Japan and a closely related Amblyomma species in Myanmar

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1062-1078, July 2022., 2022
Abstract Ticks are the second most important vector capable of transmitting diseases affecting the health of both humans and animals. Amblyomma testudinarium Koch 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae), is a hard tick species having a wide geographic distribution in Asia. In this study, we analyzed the composition of A.
