An integrated overview of the bacterial flora composition of Hyalomma anatolicum, the main vector of CCHF.

The microbial flora associated with Hyalomma anatolicum ticks was investigated using culture-dependent (CD) and independent (next generation sequencing, NGS) methods. The bacterial profiles of different organs, development stages, sexes, and of host cattle skins were analyzed using the CD method. Th...
