Viral Diversity of Tick Species Parasitizing Cattle and Dogs in Trinidad and Tobago

Abstract Ticks are vectors of a wide variety of pathogens that are implicated in mild to severe disease in humans and other animals. Nonetheless, the full range of tick-borne pathogens is unknown. Viruses, in particular, have been neglected in discovery efforts targeting tick-borne agents. High thro...
