Tick-borne bacteria and protozoa by molecular sequencing The authors assess the presence of tick-borne bacteria and protozoa by molecular sequencing. Cervids and wild boars can can act as reservoir of different tick-borne pathogens, such as bacteria, parasites and viruses. The researchers collected 141 blood samples from free-ranging ungulates including 73 red deer, 65 wild boars and three fallow deer. Moreover, […]
