| Özet |
| BackgroundHaemaphysalis punctata is a widespread Palearctic tick species, yet its role in the circulation of tick-borne pathogens in Türkiye remains poorly characterized. No systematic pathogen survey has previously been conducted on host-seeking individuals of this species. This study aimed to provide the first comprehensive molecular investigation of bacterial, protozoan, and viral tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) in questing H. punctata populations in Central and Northeastern Anatolia.MethodsA total of 96 host-seeking adult H. punctata were collected from 29 sampling sites in 11 districts across seven provinces. DNA and RNA extracts were screened using a multi-agent polymerase chain reaction (PCR)−-sequencing panel targeting a broad range of TBPs. Positive amplicons were sequenced for species identification, and complete genome sequencing was performed for the detected Burana virus strain ... |
