Eight Years of Research Advances in Bourbon Virus, a Tick-borne Thogotovirus of the Orthomyxovirus Family [PDF]

Zoonoses, 2022
Bourbon virus (BRBV) was first isolated from a blood sample collected from a male patient living in Bourbon County, Kansas, during the spring of 2014. The patient later died because of complications associated with multiorgan failure.

Establishment of a Replicon Reporter of the Emerging Tick-Borne Bourbon Virus and Use It for Evaluation of Antivirals [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Bourbon virus (BRBV) was first isolated from a patient hospitalized at the University of Kansas Hospital in 2014. Since then, several deaths have been reported to be caused by BRBV infection in the Midwest and Southern United States. BRBV is a tick-borne

Reverse Vaccinology Integrated with Biophysics Techniques for Designing a Peptide-Based Subunit Vaccine for Bourbon Virus [PDF]

Bioengineering
Despite the seriousness of the disease carried by ticks, little is known about the Bourbon virus. Only three US states have recorded human cases of Bourbon virus (BRBV) infection; in all cases, a tick bite was connected with the onset of the illness. The

ANP32 proteins from ticks and vertebrates are key host factors for replication of Bourbon virus across species [PDF]

Journal of Virology
Bourbon virus (BRBV) is a tick-borne virus in the genus Thogotovirus in the Orthomyxoviridae family. BRBV was initially identified as the presumptive causative agent of a fatal human infection in 2014 and has since been identified in ticks in the Midwest,

Experimental Infection of Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae) With Bourbon Virus (Orthomyxoviridae: Thogotovirus) [PDF]

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2021
Abstract Following the recent discovery of Bourbon virus (BRBV) as a human pathogen, and the isolation of the virus from Amblyomma americanum (L.) collected near the location of a fatal human case, we undertook a series of experiments to assess the laboratory vector competence of this tick species for BRBV.

Prevalence of Bourbon and Heartland viruses in field collected ticks at an environmental field station in St. Louis County, Missouri, USA

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases, 2023
Heartland and Bourbon viruses are pathogenic tick-borne viruses putatively transmitted by Amblyomma americanum, an abundant tick species in Missouri. To assess the prevalence of these viruses in ticks, we collected 2778 ticks from eight sampling sites at
