The influence of interspecific competition and host preference on the phylogeography of two African ixodid tick species.

The influence of interspecific competition and host preference on the phylogeography of two African ixodid tick species.

A comparative phylogeographic study on two economically important African tick species, Amblyomma hebraeum and Hyalomma rufipes was performed to test the influence of host specificity and host movement on dispersion. Pairwise AMOVA analyses of 277 mtDNA COI sequences supported significant population...
