Supplementary data: Canine Ticks, Tick-Borne Pathogens and Associated Risk Factors in Nigeria

This supplementary file supports the manuscript titled "Canine Ticks, Tick-Borne Pathogens and Associated Risk Factors in Nigeria". It contains additional figures and tables from laboratory and field investigations carried out in Nigeria and the UK. Included are: Gel electrophoresis image showing PCR results for tick 16S rRNA gene amplification. Summary tables of tick species identified morphologically and by PCR, with GenBank accession numbers. Sample size calculations for estimating pathogen prevalence. A flowchart outlining sample collection, processing, and analysis steps. PCR protocols and primer details used for detecting tick-borne pathogens. Univariate analysis of risk factors associated with tick infestation and pathogen prevalence based on POC and qPCR tests These data provide transparency and support reproducibility of the study’s findings.
