Surveillance reveals distinct distribution of tick-borne pathogens in H. longicornis populations, suggesting region-specific disease risks.
This surveillance revealed a distinct geographical distribution pattern of SFGR species in H. longicornis populations in China and confirmed the presence of Ca. R. jingxinensis in the northeast and R. heilongjiangensis in the central and eastern regions. These findings, supported by polygenic evidence, provide essential epidemiological data for understanding regional tick-borne disease risks and highlight the need for continued region-specific surveillance.
