MOLECULAR PREVALENCE OF SELECTED TICK-BORNE PATHOGENS IN DERMACENTOR RETICULATUS COLLECTED IN A NATURAL PARK IN ITALY

Molecular Prevalence of Selected Tick-Borne Pathogens in Dermacentor reticulatus Collected in a Natural Park in Italy

Dermacentor reticulatus is one of the most important vectors of tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) in Europe causing diseases in animals and humans.A longitudinal study was planned, aimed to detect the molecular prevalence of tick-borne pathogens, i.e., Babesia spp.and the spotted fever group Rickettsiae, and its seasonal variation in D.reticulatus questi
