Metatranscriptomic Analysis Uncovers RNA Virus Diversity in Ticks From the China-Russia-North Korea Border Region. [PDF]
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,

Ticks From Mink and Their Associated Microorganisms in Spain. [PDF]
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 ...

Tick-Borne Viruses in Finland: Public Health Risks, Interventions and Research Insights. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Ticks are obligate haematophagous arthropods that serve as vectors for diverse pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and protozoa. In Finland, the two primary tick species, Ixodes ricinus (castor bean tick) and Ixodes persulcatus (taiga tick), have been identified in the transmission of tick‐borne viruses (TBV), notably tick‐borne ...

Molecular Characterization of Rift Valley Fever Virus From the 2025 Outbreak in Northern Senegal Reveals Lineage H Persistence and Key Polymerase Mutations. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a mosquito‐borne phlebovirus that causes severe febrile and hemorrhagic illness in humans. In September 2025, an outbreak in northern Senegal led to 119 confirmed infections and 15 deaths as of October 7, 2025. We performed rapid genomic sequencing to characterize the virus responsible for this epidemic.

A novel phlebovirus in Albanian sandflies [PDF]
Sandflies were collected in two districts of Albania and tested for a probable phlebovirus infection. A novel phlebovirus, provisionally named Adria virus, was detected in 2/12 pools, both trapped in a region close to the Adriatic Sea. The new virus is genetically closer (similarity 77.1% at nucleotide level) to Arbia virus, which belongs to the ...

Humoral immunity to phlebovirus infection
AbstractPhleboviruses are zoonotic pathogens found in parts of Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America and cause disease symptoms ranging from self‐limiting febrile illness to severe disease, including hemorrhagic diathesis, encephalitis, and ocular pathologies.

St. Abb’s Head phlebovirus – a separate virus species or a strain of Uukuniemi phlebovirus?
St. Abb’s Head virus (SAHV), a member of the genus Phlebovirus (family Phenuiviridae, order Bunyavirales), belongs to the largest group of negative strand RNA viruses. All phleboviruses share a genome structure that comprises three segments of negative-sense or ambi-sense RNA.
