Multiple Introductions of the Asian Longhorned Tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) to the United States Revealed Using Mitogenomics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
The Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, is a significant global vector and threat to both agriculture and public health. Formerly known only in the Eastern Hemisphere, parthenogenetic ALT have been reported from 20 states across the eastern and central US, with a pattern of expansion suggestive of multiple distinct populations.

Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index Plays Important Role in Predicting In‐Hospital Mortality in Patients With Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome: A Multi‐Center Observational Study

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) has been proposed as a reliable indicator of nutritional state and, when decreased, is closely associated with the severity and mortality risk of infectious disease. The current study retrospectively recruited patients who were admitted for SFTS from January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2024 at six medical ...

Metatranscriptomic Analysis Uncovers RNA Virus Diversity in Ticks From the China–Russia–North Korea Border Region

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Ticks serve as critical viral vectors, and border regions, acting as convergence zones of complex ecosystems, provide diverse habitats for ticks and their hosts, thereby underscoring the need to investigate the tick‐borne virome composition in such areas. In this study, metatranscriptomic analysis of five tick species, namely Haemaphysalis longicornis,

Metagenomic Analysis of Tick‐Borne Viruses Associated With Hyalomma asiaticum From Different Hosts in the Surrounding Areas of Urumqi, China

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Tick‐borne viruses (TBVs) represent a serious risk to global public and animal health. Despite the remarkable species diversity of ticks documented in Urumqi and its adjacent regions of China, scientific investigations into TBVs in this ecologically significant area have been strikingly scarce.

Ticks From Mink and Their Associated Microorganisms in Spain

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Wildlife is an important source of emerging zoonotic agents, including tick‐borne ones. Wild carnivores such as mink are commonly parasitized by ticks, which are vectors and reservoirs of zoonotic diseases. Besides the importance of these arthropods as potential sources of diseases in mink, and the role of these mammals as reservoirs of infectious ...

Pathogenicity of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus in mice regulated in type I interferon signaling [PDF]

, 2020
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging zoonotic disease, which causes high fever, thrombocytopenia, and death in humans and animals in East Asian countries. The pathogenicity of SFTS virus (SFTSV) remains unclear.

Establishment of an Early Prediction Model for Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome‐Associated Encephalitis

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease primarily transmitted by ticks. The development of encephalitis in SFTS patients significantly increases the risk of adverse outcomes. However, the understanding of SFTS‐associated encephalitis (SFTSAE) is still limited. This study aimed to identify

Viral stress activation of retrotransposons in sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] [PDF]

, 2002
Mutations in sweetpotato [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.], which are poorly understood, are widely implicated as a component in cultivar decline. In sweetpotato, mutations are also likely to result from the activity of plant retrotransposons, which are known ...

Early prognosis biomarkers of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome

iLABMED, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 341-351, December 2024.
SFTSV interacts with the host's immune defenses, prompting the engagement of both innate and adaptive immune responses by effector cells. This interaction ultimately results in the activation and proliferation of relevant cytokines. Abstract Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease that results from SFTS ...
