Blood-meal derived host responses with microbiome and virome alteration in Ixodes persulcatus naturally fed on humans
The study aim to identify tick virome in unfed and fully fed ticksunder different blood-meal stages using metagenomic and transcriptomic approaches, and hence to explore the interaction between blood-meal derived tick responses and the virome and microbiome alteration. It might help to identify new biotic driver indicating new strategy to control ticks and their pathogens
