Microbial community variations in adult Hyalomma dromedarii ticks from single locations in Saudi Arabia and Tunisia by Myriam Kratou, Apolline Maitre, Apolline Maitre, Apolline Maitre, Lianet Abuin-Denis, Lianet Abuin-Denis, Rachid Selmi, Hanène Belkahia, Abdullah D. Alanazi, Hattan Gattan, Hattan Gattan, Bassam M. Al-Ahmadi, Abdullah F. Shater, Lourdes Mateos-Hernández, Dasiel Obregón, Lilia Messadi, Alejandro Cabezas-Cruz, Mourad Ben Said, Mourad Ben Said

“…IntroductionThe camel-infesting tick, Hyalomma dromedarii, is a prominent ectoparasite in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, critically impacting camel health and acting as a vector for tick-borne pathogens. Despite prior studies on its microbiota, the effects of geographic origin and sex on microbial community structure and functional stability remain poorly understood.MethodsTo address this, we characterized the bacterial microbiota of H. dromedarii ticks collected from camels in Tunisia (TUN) and Saudi Arabia (SA) using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, microbial network analysis, and metabolic pathway prediction.ResultsOur findings indicate a dominant presence of Francisella endosymbionts in Tunisian ticks, suggesting adaptive roles of H. dromedarii ticks in arid ecosystems. …”
