Abstract
Ticks can transmit pathogenic bacteria, protozoa, and viruses to humans and animals. In this study, we investigated the microbiomes of Haemaphysalis longicornis according to sex and life stages. The Shannon index was significantly higher for nymphs than adult ticks. Principal coordinates analysis showed that the microbiome composition of female adult and male adult ticks were different. Notably, Coxiella-like bacterium (AB001519), known as a tick symbiont, was found in all nymphs and female adult ticks, but only one out of 4 male adult ticks had Coxiella-like bacterium (AB001519). In addition, Rickettsia rickettsii, Coxiella burnetii, and Anaplasma bovis were detected in this study.
期刊介绍：
The Korean Journal of Parasitology is the official journal paperless, on-line publication after Vol. 53, 2015 of The Korean Society for Parasitology and Tropical Medicine. Abbreviated title is ‘Korean J Parasitol’. It was launched in 1963. It contains original articles, case reports, brief communications, reviews or mini-reviews, book reviews, and letters to the editor on parasites of humans and animals, vectors, host-parasite relationships, zoonoses, and tropical medicine. It is published bimonthly in February, April, June, August, October, and December each year. Supplement numbers are at times published. All of the manuscripts are peer-reviewed.
