Viral Diversity of Tick Species Parasitizing Cattle and Dogs in Trinidad and Tobago
Ticks are vectors of a wide variety of pathogens that are implicated in mild to severe disease in humans and other animals. Nonetheless, the full range of tick-borne pathogens is unknown. Viruses, in particular, have been neglected in discovery efforts targeting tick-borne agents. High throughput sequencing was used to characterize the virome of ticks from Trinidad and Tobago in 2017 and 2018
