 The study investigated the prevalence and genetic diversity of microorganisms in two different types of biotopes, one experiencing warmer temperatures and the other experiencing colder temperatures. The study found that the presence of certain pathogenic bacterial species varied between the two biotopes, suggesting that environmental factors play a role in determining which pathogens are present in ticks. Furthermore, the study also found that the prevalence of certain pathogens can vary significantly over time within the same biotope, indicating that climate change may be affecting the transmission of certain pathogens.
