Factors affecting the microbiome of Ixodes scapularis and Amblyomma americanum.
The microbial community composition of disease vectors can impact pathogen establishment and transmission as well as on vector behavior and fitness. While data on vector microbiota are accumulating quickly, determinants of the variation in disease vector microbial communities are incompletely unders...
