Hyalomma dromedarii ticks are the main hematophagous ectoparasites of camels, harboring a variety microbes that can affect tick vector competence and pathogen transmission. To better understand microbiome influenced by sex host habitat, we analyzed bacterial community H. male female collected from camel farms, livestock markets, slaughterhouses, representing range major habitats in UAE, sequencing 16S rRNA gene. Tick samples were during 2022 2023. A total 40 (male (15), nymph (10)) selected camels processed for genomic DNA next-generation using Illumina MiSeq platform. We obtained 151,168 read counts, these formed 237 operational taxonomic units 11 phyla, 22 classes, 77 families, 164 genera. The phyla Actinomycetota, Bacillota, Bacteroidota, Pseudomonadota, Fusobacteriota most abundant. genus Corynebacterium dominated microbiomes farm-collected ticks, while Proteus ticks. In comparison, slaughterhouse Francisella both males females. Our results confirm vary habitat settings. Furthermore, recent findings could deliver insight into differences ability to acquire, maintain, transmit pathogens various may impact medically agriculturally important species Middle East North Africa (MENA) region Asia.
