Tissue-specific localization of tick-borne pathogens in ticks collected from camels in Kenya: insights into vector competence

BackgroundTick-borne pathogen (TBP) surveillance studies often use whole-tick homogenates when inferring tick-pathogen associations. However, localized TBP infections within tick tissues (saliva, hemolymph, salivary glands, and midgut) can inform pathogen transmission mechanisms and are key to disen...
