Molecular Epidemiology and Seroepidemiology of Oz Virus Infection in Ticks and Wild Boars in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan [PDF]
Oz virus (OZV), an emerging negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus classified under the family Orthomyxoviridae and genus Thogotovirus, was first isolated from Amblyomma testudinarium ticks in Ehime Prefecture, Japan, in 2013.

Characterisation of putative novel tick viruses and zoonotic risk prediction. [PDF]
Tick‐borne viruses remain a substantial zoonotic risk worldwide, so knowledge of the diversity of tick viruses has potential health consequences. Through data mining and bioinformatic analyses of more than 37,800 public meta‐genomic and ‐transcriptomic data sets, we found five putative novel Alphatetra‐like viruses, four putative novel Orthomyxo‐like ...

A novel accessory gene product of tick-borne Dhori-Orthomyxovirus, encoded by overlooked spliced transcripts of RNA segment 6 [PDF]
Dhori virus (DHOV) (Orthomyxoviridae, genus: Thogotovirus) is a tick-borne virus with a segmented, negative-sense RNA genome. Thogotoviruses can be divided into two clades, Thogoto-like and Dhori-like viruses, which differ in their coding strategy of the

Bourbon Virus in Wild and Domestic Animals, Missouri, USA, 2012–2013 [PDF]
Since its recent discovery, Bourbon virus has been isolated from a human and ticks. To assess exposure of potential vertebrate reservoirs, we assayed banked serum and plasma samples from wildlife and domestic animals in Missouri, USA, for Bourbon virus ...

Reverse Vaccinology Integrated with Biophysics Techniques for Designing a Peptide-Based Subunit Vaccine for Bourbon Virus [PDF]
Despite the seriousness of the disease carried by ticks, little is known about the Bourbon virus. Only three US states have recorded human cases of Bourbon virus (BRBV) infection; in all cases, a tick bite was connected with the onset of the illness. The

Experimental Infection of Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae) With Bourbon Virus (Orthomyxoviridae: Thogotovirus) [PDF]
Abstract Following the recent discovery of Bourbon virus (BRBV) as a human pathogen, and the isolation of the virus from Amblyomma americanum (L.) collected near the location of a fatal human case, we undertook a series of experiments to assess the laboratory vector competence of this tick species for BRBV.

Abstract Ticks are the second most important vector capable of transmitting diseases affecting the health of both humans and animals. Amblyomma testudinarium Koch 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae), is a hard tick species having a wide geographic distribution in Asia. In this study, we analyzed the composition of A.
