Application of Viral Metagenomics for Study of Emerging and Reemerging Tick-Borne Viruses

open access: yes, 2020
Ticks are important vectors for different tick-borne viruses, some of which cause diseases and death in humans, livestock, and wild animals. Tick-borne encephalitis virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, Kyasanur forest disease virus, severe fever

The Ecology of New Constituents of the Tick Virome and Their Relevance to Public Health

open access: yesViruses, 2019
Ticks are vectors of several pathogens that can be transmitted to humans and their geographic ranges are expanding. The exposure of ticks to new hosts in a rapidly changing environment is likely to further increase the prevalence and diversity of tick ...

Complex method of the prognosis of tick-born neuroinfections

open access: yesБюллетень сибирской медицины, 2008
Here, we propose a method of forecasting the development of the heavy forms of the tick-borne encephalitis using diagnostic tables. The method is based on evaluation of the patients with syndrome of endogenous intoxication using immunological and ...

Discovery of the Role of Tick Salivary Glands in Enhancement of Virus Transmission—Beginning of an Exciting Story

open access: yesPathogens, 2023
There is increasing evidence that arthropod-borne pathogens exploit saliva of their vectors during the transmission process to vertebrate hosts. Extensive research of the composition of tick saliva and its role in blood-feeding and transmission of ...

Molecular studies of louping ill virus

open access: yes, 1991
The genomic RNA encoding the structural proteins of louping ill, a tickborne flavivirus, was cloned and sequenced. Sequence comparisons of louping ill envelope protein showed greater homology with tick-borne than mosquito-borne flaviviruses and greater ...

Parasites and wildlife in a changing world: The vector-host- pathogen interaction as a learning case

open access: yesInternational Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2019
In the Anthropocene context, changes in climate, land use and biodiversity are considered among the most important anthropogenic factors affecting parasites-host interaction and wildlife zoonotic diseases emergence. Transmission of vector borne pathogens
