Systematic studies on the coinfection patterns and differences of pathogens in ticks derived from different hosts are of great significance. Therefore, the present study investigated ticks collected from multiple host species in the Altun Mountains region (China) to preliminarily characterize differences in the carriage of tick-borne bacterial pathogens across host-associated and environmental tick populations and to explore their potential relationships.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 2820 ticks collected from marmots, sheep, camels, and Gobi vegetation were assigned into 562 pooled groups.
