Next Generation Sequencing Uncovers Unexpected Bacterial Pathogens in Ticks in Western Europe
We have generated a global in-depth picture of tick-borne bacteria. We identified RNA from the main pathogenic bacterial species known to be transmitted by I. ricinus. In addition we also identified unanticipated bacterial species for which we have estimated the prevalence within those ticks inhabiting the studied areas.
