Overview

This study reports tick species and rickettsiae in domestic animals, suggesting significant health implications.

Key Points

  • A total of 200 ticks were collected from 155 domestic animals, revealing significant findings related to rickettsiae.
  • Ticks belonged to twelve species, with Rhipicephalus microplus being the most common, indicating diverse tick fauna.
  • Rickettsial DNA analysis aligned with various species, highlighting an underexplored aspect of animal health in Bhutan.
  • Support for larger studies is essential for assessing tick-borne infections and their impacts on livestock and public health.
