Rhipicephalus ticks are competent vectors of several pathogens, such as Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiae (SFGR) and many Babesia species. Within this genus, different R. sanguineus s.l. lineages show an unequal vector competence resistance regarding some pathogenic strains. Current literature supports that tick endosymbionts may play essential role in the transmission ability a vector. Indeed, microbial community seems to be dominated by Coxiella-like (CLE). Still, their co-evolutionary...
