Temporal variability of the Hyalomma marginatum-borne pathogens in a sentinel site of the Occitanie region (France), a focus on the intriguing dynamics of Rickettsia aeschlimannii

This study examines the temporal dynamics of pathogens carried by Hyalomma marginatum ticks in southern France, finding strong seasonal fluctuations, particularly for Rickettsia aeschlimannii, which correlates with temperature increases.

Spatial patterns of Hyalomma marginatum-borne pathogens in the Occitanie region (France), a focus on the intriguing dynamics of Rickettsia aeschlimannii

The paper analyzes spatial patterns of pathogens in Hyalomma marginatum ticks in France, finding high infection rates of Rickettsia aeschlimannii with significant spatial variation.

Tick-borne pathogens identified in Hyalomma marginatum (Acari: Ixodidae) collected from various vertebrate hosts in the South of France

This study identifies the prevalence of tick-borne pathogens in Hyalomma marginatum ticks collected from various hosts in southern France using high-throughput PCR.

Influence of endosymbionts on the reproductive fitness of the tick Ornithodoros moubata

This study investigates the impact of Francisella-like and Rickettsia endosymbionts on the reproductive fitness of Ornithodoros moubata ticks using antibiotic treatments and molecular quantification.

Temporal patterns in Ixodes ricinus microbial communities: an insight into tick-borne microbe interactions

The paper analyzes temporal dynamics of microbial communities in Ixodes ricinus ticks using high-throughput sequencing and identifies interactions between symbionts and pathogens.

Taxon appearance from extraction and amplification steps demonstrates the value of multiple controls in tick microbiome analysis

This study shows that contamination from DNA extraction and amplification steps can represent over half of the sequences in tick microbiome analyses, leading to unreliable results.
