Extract

Ticks and tick-borne pathogens are responsible for mortality and morbidity in livestock, wildlife, pets and humans in many countries. However, detection is difficult with multiple infection cases and low infection rates in carrier animals. We used a macro-array-based method to simultaneously detect tick-borne pathogens.
