The high genetic variation of viruses of the genus Nairovirus reflects the diversity of their predominant tick hosts [PDF]

, 2004
The genus Nairovirus (family Bunyaviridae) contains seven serogroups consisting of 34 predominantly tick-borne viruses, including several associated with severe human and livestock diseases [e.g., Crimean Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) and Nairobi sheep ...

Behavioral and Morphological Adaptations of Tortoise Tick Hyalomma aegyptium to Testudo graeca: Evidence for Complex Evolutionary History

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
In this study, we examined the infestation characteristics of the tick species Hyalomma aegyptium on its specific host, the spur‐thighed tortoise Testudo graeca, to investigate the principles of behavioral and morphological adaptation and its ecological consequences.

Lymphopenia: An early indicator of Crimean‐Congo haemorrhagic fever

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 30, Issue 8, Page 831-837, August 2025.
Abstract Objectives Crimean‐Congo haemorrhagic fever is a lethal tick‐borne disease characterised by initially nonspecific symptoms. While thrombocytopenia and leucopenia are established diagnostic markers, there is a need for earlier indicators. This study evaluates lymphopenia as a marker for Crimean‐Congo haemorrhagic fever.

A wide distribution of Beiji nairoviruses and related viruses in Ixodes ticks in Japan

Ticks and Tick-Borne Diseases
Beiji nairovirus (BJNV), in the family Nairoviridae, the order Bunyavirales, was recently reported as a causative agent of an emerging tick-borne zoonotic infection in China. This study investigated the prevalence of BJNV in ticks in Japan.

Tick Species Infesting Livestock in Three Bioclimatic Areas of Senegal: Bioecology, Prevalence of Tick Infestation, Associated Categorical Factors and Crimean‐Congo Haemorrhagic Fever Virus Infection

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 3, May 2025.
Ticks were collected between October 2020 and November 2022, from cattle, goats and sheep in the Sahelian, Sudano‐Sahelian and Sudanian zones, and tested for CCHFV infection. A total of 3632 animals were examined and 35.3% (95% CI: 33.8–36.9) found tick‐infested.

Potential role of ticks as vectors of bluetongue virus [PDF]

, 2010
When the first outbreak of bluetongue virus serotype 8 (BTV8) was recorded in North-West Europe in August 2006 and renewed outbreaks occurred in the summer of 2007 and again in 2008, the question was raised how the virus survived the winter.
