Diverse virome and potential pathogens in five tick species from metropolis surroundings of Beijing and Tianjin, China [PDF]
Rapid urbanization and dense populations in metropolitan areas increase the risk of tick-borne disease transmission. We profiled 139 RNA libraries of 1697 adult ticks belonging to Haemaphysalis longicornis, Haemaphysalis concinna, Dermacentor silvarum ...

Comparative Study of Ten Thogotovirus Isolates and Their Distinct In Vivo Characteristics. [PDF]
Since their discovery over 60 years ago, 15 genetically distinct members of the thogotovirus genus have been isolated. These arboviruses belong to the Orthomyxovirus family and share many features with influenza viruses.

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.

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

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

Heterozygous and generalist MxA super-restrictors overcome breadth-specificity trade-offs in antiviral restriction. [PDF]
Antiviral restriction factors such as MxA (myxovirus resistance protein A) inhibit many viruses. Viral escape drives restriction factors to evolve rapidly at virus-binding interfaces to regain defense.

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.
