Molecular identification and phylogenetic characterization of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus from the coastal region of Bangladesh based on the mitochondrial cox1 gene
Objectives: The Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus is an economically important ectoparasite of livestock that transmits several hemoprotozoan pathogens, causing substantial economic losses. This study focuses on the phylogenetic analysis of the R. microplus tick using the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I...
