Análisis del microbioma de las garrapatas de ganado, un nuevo abordaje basado en metagenómica.

Recent metagenomic investigations of ticks have revealed that their microbiomes have a microbial diversity of endosymbionts and pathogens (pathobiome), which cause diseases in humans and other animals. Ticks are vectors of various diseases in cattle, so a more extensive study will elucidate their microbiome composition to propose new control and prevention strategies, such as anti-tick vaccines. This approach is promising and is based on identifying essential bacteria for the survival of the vector. Therefore, this work presents the metagenomic strategy to ticks for identifying the microbiota and the respective microbiome. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
