Diversity, Host Attachment Preferences and Role of Tick Rhipicephalus microplus in the Transmission of Bartonella spp. and Rickettsia spp. in Cattle From Southern Benin. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Ticks infesting cattle in Southern Benin were investigated for diversity, attachment preferences and zoonotic bacteria. Among 2210 ticks collected from 540 cattle, Rhipicephalus microplus predominated (79.6%). Ticks mainly attached to ears, axillae and trunk. PCR detection revealed Bartonella spp. and Rickettsia spp., highlighting veterinary and public
