Abstract: Rhipicephalus microplus is recognized as a tick species highly prevalent in cattle, with a wide pantropical distribution that seems to continue spreading geographically. However, its role as a biological vector has been scarcely studied in the livestock context. In this study, a 16S rRNA next-generation sequencing analysis was used to determine bacterial diversity in salivary glands and gut of R. microplus from two contrasting livestock agroecosystems in Antioquia, Colombia. Both the culture-independent approa… Show more

“…Four phyla found in our samples (Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, and Bacteroidetes) (composed by female ticks and tick cell cultures) corroborate with data detected in Amblyomma maculatum Koch and Rhipicephalus microplus (Canestrini) adult ticks, by different methods (Varela-Stokes et al, 2018;Segura et al, 2020). On the other hand, Fusobacteria, detected only in Temp (F), is a phylum that has not been associated with any tick microbiome yet.…”

“…Similarly, Lejal et al 50 documented the existence and annual recurrence of marked temporal shifts in tick microbial community dynamics in I ricinus . Excluding results from Clow et al, 72 prior works also demonstrated the strong influence of biogeography on tick microbiome structure and composition from different tick species, both at state or regional scales 71,76,91,100‐102 and at more local scales, between ticks collected from either the forest or the ecotone 24 . These variations in space and time might first be explained by environmental factors such as temperature, as suggested by Thapa and collaborators who provided experimental evidence that environmental temperature impacts tick microbiomes 103 .…”
