Differential Antagonism of Human Innate Immune Responses by Tick-Borne
In recent years, several newly discovered tick-borne viruses causing a wide spectrum of diseases in humans have been ascribed to the Phlebovirus genus of the Bunyaviridae family.

Development of a Real-Time PCR Assay for the Detection of the Phlebovirus Fermo Virus [PDF]
Fermo virus is a Phlebovirus that is increasingly reported in sand flies from northern Italy. The natural cycle is not fully understood, but the virus has been detected by direct methods only in sand flies.

Novel Echarate Virus Variant Isolated from Patient with Febrile Illness, Chanchamayo, Peru [PDF]
A new phlebovirus variant was isolated from an acute febrile patient in Chanchamayo, Peru. Genome characterization and p-distance analyses based on complete open reading frames revealed that the virus is probably a natural reassortant of the Echarate ...

Sandfly Blood-Feeding Habits and Competence in Transmitting Ntepes Virus, a Recently Discovered Member of the Genus Phlebovirus [PDF]
Phleboviruses transmitted by sandflies are among emerging public health threats. A novel Phlebovirus named Ntepes virus (NTPV) was recently described and found to infect humans from a wide geographic area in Kenya.

A bioactive phlebovirus-like envelope protein in a hookworm endogenous virus [PDF]
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), accounting for 14% of our genome, serve as a genetic reservoir from which new genes can emerge. Nematode ERVs are particularly diverse and informative of retrovirus evolution.

The Role of Phlebovirus Glycoproteins in Viral Entry, Assembly and Release [PDF]
Bunyaviruses are enveloped viruses with a tripartite RNA genome that can pose a serious threat to animal and human health. Members of the Phlebovirus genus of the family Bunyaviridae are transmitted by mosquitos and ticks to humans and include highly ...

Phlebovirus diversity in ticks from livestock in arid ecologies in Kenya.
Phleboviruses are emerging pathogens of public health importance. However, their association with ticks is poorly described, particularly in Africa. Here, adult ticks infesting cattle, goats and sheep were collected in two dryland pastoralist ecosystems of Kenya (Baringo and Kajiado counties) and were screened for infection with phleboviruses.
