Abstract:Tick‐borne pathogens continue to infect humans and animals worldwide. By adapting to the movement of livestock, ticks facilitate the spread of these infectious pathogens. Humans in close contact with animals that could be amplifying hosts are especially at risk of being infected with tick‐borne pathogens. This study involved the collection of dry blood spots (DBSs) to determine tick‐borne pathogens occurring in slaughtered livestock and abattoir workers in Kumasi. This study employed the use of conventional PC… Show more
