Tick-borne Pathogens in Northwestern California, USA
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2014 To the Editor: In northwestern California, USA, the western black-legged tick, Ixodes pacificus, is a known vector of Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochete that causes Lyme disease. B. miyamotoi, which is more closely related to spirochetes that cause relapsing fever, has also been detected in 2 locations in California (1,2) and has recently been ...

Advances in the Study of the Tick Cattle Microbiota and the Influence on Vectorial Capacity
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 The information from the tick cattle microbiota suggests that the microbial populations may modulate a successful infection process of the tick-borne pathogens. Therefore, there is a need to know the microbial population and their interactions.
