The unique landscape in the gut microbiota of Haemaphysalis longicornis under Borrelia burgdorferi infection: associations with the vector competence (PRJCA045018)
This study aimed to explore the reason for Haemaphysalis longicornis (H. longicornis) restricting Borrelia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi) colonization and transmission from the perspective of gut microbiota, and to investigate the impact of different infection statuses on the H. longicornis microbiota and its potential role in pathogen transmission.
