Sequencing of tick 16S V3-V4 in the border area of China, Russia and North Korea

In this study, we performed macro-genome sequencing of the 16S V3-V4 region of free ticks in the border areas of China to clarify the microbiome composition of ticks in the border areas, and to explore the linkage between tick-borne pathogens and microbiomes, with the expectation of providing effective means for tick-borne disease control.
