From: The scale affects our view on the identification and distribution of microbial communities in ticks
Improving our understanding of the tick microbial community ecology. Spatial and temporal studies ranging in scale from that of tick organs to population have allowed us detect patterns of distribution to finally develop predictive models on pathogen/microbiota interactions. Pictures: organs (Ladislav Simo), genera and species (CDC), populations (Philippe Garo, Agence Phanie)
