Novel Thogotovirus Associated with Febrile Illness and Death, United States, 2014

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2015
A previously healthy man from eastern Kansas, USA, sought medical care in late spring because of a history of tick bite, fever, and fatigue. The patient had thrombocytopenia and leukopenia and was given doxycycline for a presumed tickborne illness.

Eight Years of Research Advances in Bourbon Virus, a Tick-borne Thogotovirus of the Orthomyxovirus Family

Zoonoses, 2022
Bourbon virus (BRBV) was first isolated from a blood sample collected from a male patient living in Bourbon County, Kansas, during the spring of 2014. The patient later died because of complications associated with multiorgan failure.

A novel accessory gene product of tick-borne Dhori-Orthomyxovirus, encoded by overlooked spliced transcripts of RNA segment 6 [PDF]

Journal of Virology
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

Characterisation of putative novel tick viruses and zoonotic risk prediction. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
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 ...

Reverse Vaccinology Integrated with Biophysics Techniques for Designing a Peptide-Based Subunit Vaccine for Bourbon Virus [PDF]

Bioengineering
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

Comparative Study of Ten Thogotovirus Isolates and Their Distinct In Vivo Characteristics. [PDF]

J Virol, 2022
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.

Eight years' advances on Bourbon virus, a tick-born Thogotovirus of the Orthomyxovirus family. [PDF]

Zoonoses, 2022
Bourbon virus (BRBV) was first isolated from a blood sample collected from a male patient living in Bourbon County, Kansas, during the spring of 2014. The patient later died because of complications associated with multiorgan failure. Several deaths due to BRBV infection have since been reported in the United States, and misdiagnosed cases are often ...

Comparative mitogenomics elucidates the population genetic structure of Amblyomma testudinarium in Japan and a closely related Amblyomma species in Myanmar

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1062-1078, July 2022., 2022
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.

Tick‐borne pathogens, including Crimean‐Congo haemorrhagic fever virus, at livestock markets and slaughterhouses in western Kenya

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 2429-2445, July 2021., 2021
Abstract Vectors of emerging infectious diseases have expanded their distributional ranges in recent decades due to increased global travel, trade connectivity and climate change. Transboundary range shifts, arising from the continuous movement of humans and livestock across borders, are of particular disease control concern.
