Applying next generation sequencing to detect tick-pathogens in Dermacentor nuttalli, Ixodes persulcatus, and Hyalomma asiaticum collected from Mongolia

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2023
Ticks and tick-borne diseases represent major threats to the public health of the Mongolian population, of which an estimated 26% live a traditional nomadic pastoralist lifestyle that puts them at increased risk for exposure.

RNA viromes of Dermacentor nuttalli ticks reveal a novel uukuvirus in Qīnghăi Province, China. [PDF]

Virol Sin
Ticks are a major parasite on the Qīnghăi-Tibet Plateau, western China, and represent an economic burden to agriculture and animal husbandry. Despite research on tick-borne pathogens that threaten humans and animals, the viromes of dominant tick species in this area remain unknown.

Rickettsia raoultii, the predominant Rickettsia found in Mongolian Dermacentor nuttalli

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2012
Since the year 2005, clinical patterns resembling tick-borne rickettsioses have been noticed in Mongolia. Epidemiological data regarding species of the aetiological agent, tick vector, prevalence, and distribution as well as incidence of human cases throughout Mongolia are still sparse to date.

Revealing the Diversity of the Mycobiome in Different Phases of Ticks: ITS Gene-Based Analysis. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Ticks are obligate ectoparasites and vectors of a variety of pathogens in humans and animals. Certain tick‐borne pathogens (TBPs) have been identified as the cause of zoonoses, posing potentially significant threats to the human health and livestock industries. Fungi are one of the major TBPs that can affect ticks and cause disease in humans.
