Microbial communities in Ornithodoros phacochoerus ticks: spatial structure and influence of African swine fever virus infectious status

Florian Taraveau, David Bru, Hélène Jourdan‐Pineau, Elsa Rudo Pires Lameira, Carlos João Quembo, Mélanie Jeanneau, Maxime Duhayon, Antonia Andrade, Alberto Francisco, Jacinto Chapala, Thomas Pollet

This study examines the microbiota of Ornithodoros phacochoerus ticks, finding low bacterial diversity and no association between African swine fever virus infection and microbiota composition.

Population genetics of the nidicolous soft tick Ornithodoros phacochoerus in the context of African swine fever sylvatic cycle

Florian Taraveau, David Bru, Thomas Pollet, Mélanie Jeanneau, Maxime Duhayon, Elsa Rudo Pires Lameira, Antónia de Andrade, Alberto Francisco, Jacinto Chapala, Carlos João Quembo, Hélène Jourdan‐Pineau

This study analyzes the population genetics of Ornithodoros phacochoerus ticks in Mozambique, finding isolation between two reserves and suggesting tick movement driven by warthog activity, which may contribute to African swine fever virus transmission.
