Low genetic diversity of vector-borne haemoparasites in dogs and their ticks revealed local and long-range transmission in Peninsular Malaysia by Sipin, Quincie, Mustaffa-Kamal, Farina, Watanabe, Malaika, Megat Abdul Rani, Puteri Azaziah, Abdul Aziz, Nor Azlina

“…This study used nuclear and mitochondrial gene markers to investigate the host-vector interaction of the vector-borne haemoparasites. The population genetic structures of important vector-borne haemoparasites in dogs, namely, Anaplasma platys, Ehrlichia canis, Babesia vogeli, and Babesia gibsoni, were determined from the nuclear gene of 16S or 18S rRNA gene, gltA and groESL and mitochondrial gene of COX1 across dogs and vector ticks. …”
