Norte, A.C.; Harris, D.J.; Silveira, D.; Nunes, C.S.; Núncio, M.S.; Martínez, E.G.; Giménez, A.; Sousa, R.; Lopes de Carvalho, I.; Perera, A.Ticks carry a diverse community of microorganisms including non-pathogenic symbionts, commensals, and pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria, protozoans, and fungi. The assessment of tick-borne microorganisms (TBM) in tortoises and their ticks is essential to understand their eco-epidemiology, and to map and monitor potential pathogens to humans and other animals. The aim of this study was to characterize the div...

Hyalomma ticks infecting tortoises in North Africa and Turkey: distribution, ge...
Perera, A.; Silveira, D.; Graciá, E.; Giménez, A.; Saramago-Nunes, C.; Lopes de Carvalho, I.; Núncio, M.S.; Harris, D.J.; Norte, A.C.Hyalomma aegyptium is the most common tick species infesting tortoises in the Palearctic. Although larvae and nymphs of these ticks feed on different animal groups, adults of H. aegyptium are highly specific to Testudo. Hyalomma are also carriers of various microorganisms, including pathogens. In this symposium we present the results of two studies on Hyalomma ticks infesting Testudo from North Africa and Turke...
