Description
Si Su and co-authors survey microbes living in ticks from Inner Mongolia, in a 2023 study. Ticks carry many germs, and local herding gives them rich habitat. More than nine hundred ticks of two species were gathered from sheep pastures and forest bushes.
Gene sequencing of mixed samples mapped the bacterial mix in each area. One genus dominated, making over half of all reads, and included a newly described species found in one tick type in two areas. Other common groups included organisms tied to animal and human disease. Signs of double infection appeared in one region. The authors warn that sheep at the sites face exposure to several pathogens at once, and urge watchfulness in herding areas.
