Two Coding-Complete Genomes of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Sequenced from Ixodes persulcatus Collected in Bulgan, Mongolia [PDF]

Pathogens
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) is primarily transmitted by Ixodes spp. and poses significant health risks, leading to morbidity and mortality in humans. Two of the five subtypes, Siberian and Far Eastern are known to circulate in Mongolia. In 2021,

Yezo Virus Diversity in Tick Bite Patients and Ticks, Russia [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Yezo virus is an emerging tickborne orthonairovirus. We detected Yezo virus RNA in tick bite patients and in Ixodes persulcatus ticks in west Siberia and Far East, Russia. Clinicians should consider the expanded area of Yezo virus identification and the

The First Study of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Lato Persistence in Small Mammals Captured in the Ixodes persulcatus Distribution Area in Western Siberia [PDF]

Pathogens
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) persistence in reservoir hosts is essential for the maintenance of the spirochaetes in the enzootic cycle. In this study, we investigated the persistence of Siberian B. burgdorferi s.l. strains in naturally infected

Distribution and Genotypic Landscape of Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus in Ticks from Latvia from 2019 to 2023 [PDF]

Pathogens
Ticks are important parasites of economic and public health because of their ability to transmit zoonotic diseases. Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), now officially Orthoflavivirus encephalitidis, is a Flavivirus with five main subtypes of which ...
