Identification of tick species A total of 1093 ticks were collected and subjected to morphological and molecular identification, which were identified as four genera and nine species, namely Hyalomma anatolicum, Hyalomma asiaticum, Dermacentor marginatus, Dermacentor pavlovskyi, Rhipicephalus turanicus, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, Haemaphysalis longicornis, Haemaphysalis punctata, and Haemaphysalis danieli. Hy. asiaticum (72.0%, 787/1093) was the dominant tick … Read more

Validation of the in vitro model In vitro methods can improve the understanding of the vector–pathogen relationship and vector feeding behavior before the use of animals [20, 25]. They also enable a controlled assessment of VBP transmission times. Rhipicephalus sanguineus infected with E. canis demonstrated a large initial SD that decreased significantly over time, indicating … Read more
