Antimicrobial resistance gene lack in tick-borne pathogenic bacteria

Scientific Reports, 2022
ABSTRACTTick-borne infections, including those of bacterial origin, are significant public health issues. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which is one of the most pressing health challenges of our time, is driven by specific genetic determinants, primarily by the antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) of bacteria.

Canine and ovine tick-borne pathogens in camels, Nigeria [PDF]

Veterinary Parasitology, 2016
In April 2008, whole blood samples were collected from 36 dromedary camels in Sokoto, North-western Nigeria. Following PCR and reverse line blotting, twenty-two samples (61%) resulted positive for Ehrlichia/Anaplasma spp. and three (8%) for Theileria/Babesia spp., with three (8%) cases of co-infections being found.
