Metagenomic profiling of ticks: Identification of novel rickettsial genomes and detection of tick-borne canine parvovirus [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Across the world, ticks act as vectors of human and animal pathogens. Ticks rely on bacterial endosymbionts, which often share close and complex evolutionary links with tick-borne pathogens.

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analyses of Haemaphysalis tibetensis Hoogstraal, 1965 (Acari: Ixodidae)

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Ticks are specialized ectoparasites that feed on blood, causing physical harm to the host and facilitating pathogen transmission. The genus Haemaphysalis contains vectors for numerous infectious agents.

Genetic characterization of Haemaphysalis (Rhipistoma) indica and Haemaphysalis (Segalia) montgomeryi ticks (Ixodoidea: Ixodidae)

Ticks and Tick-borne Diseases, 2023
Haemaphysalis species are medically important hard ticks (Ixodidae) that parasitize nearly all domestic as well as wild hosts, mostly in the Oriental region. Genetic diversity of Haemaphysalis ticks in South Asia has gained little attention, despite its economic, medical, and veterinary importance.

Rickettsiales in South America: A Systematic Review of Their Molecular Detection and Distribution in Arthropods and Vertebrates

Public Health Challenges, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacteria of the order Rickettsiales comprise a diverse group of obligate intracellular microorganisms that are globally distributed and highly prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions. In South America, these bacteria have been associated with arthropod vectors, such as ticks, fleas, mites, lice, and certain dipterans, as well as with a ...
