Quantitative microbial population study reveals geographical differences in bacterial symbionts of Ixodes ricinus

Abstract Background Ixodes ricinus ticks vector pathogens that cause serious health concerns. Like in other arthropods, the microbiome may affect the tick’s biology, with consequences for pathogen transmission. Here, we explored the bacterial communities of I. ricinus across its developmental stages...
