Ticks are important vectors of various zoonotic pathogens that can infect animals and humans, and most documented tick-borne pathogens have a strong bias towards microorganisms with strong disease phenotypes. The recent development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has enabled the study of microbial communities, referred to as microbiome. Herein, we undertake a systematic review of published literature to build a comprehensive global dataset of microbiome determined by NGS in field-collected ticks. The dataset comprised 4418 records from 76 literature involving geo-referenced occurrences for 46 species of ticks and 219 microorganism families, revealing a total of 83 emerging viruses identified from 24 tick species belonging to 6 tick genera since 1980. The viral, bacterial and eukaryotic composition was compared regarding the tick species, their live stage and types of the specimens, or the geographic location. The data can assist the further investigation of ecological, biogeographical and epidemiological features of the tick-borne disease.
蜱是各种动物源性病原体的重要载体,这些病原体可以感染动物和人类,而大多数有记录的蜱传病原体都偏向于具有强烈疾病表型的微生物。最近发展起来的下一代测序(NGS)技术使人们能够研究微生物群落,这些微生物群落被称为微生物组。在此,我们对已发表的文献进行了系统综述,以构建一个由 NGS 确定的全球野外采集蜱中微生物组的综合数据集。该数据集由 76 篇文献中的 4418 条记录组成,涉及 46 种蜱和 219 种微生物科的地理参考发生情况,自 1980 年以来,从 24 种蜱中总共鉴定出 83 种新病毒,这些病毒属于 6 种蜱属。比较了病毒、细菌和真核生物的组成,涉及蜱种、其生活阶段和标本类型,或地理位置。该数据可协助进一步调查蜱传疾病的生态、生物地理和流行病学特征。
