tick, virus, emerging, transmissionAbstract
On the globe, ticks are second only to mosquitoes as vectors of infectious diseases. The role of ticks in the transmission of viruses has been known for over 100 years. However, new pathogens are constantly emerging, and known ones are constantly spreading to new geographical areas. To date, the tick-virus interaction is still at an early stage of study. For some viruses, even the main tick vector is unknown. Therefore, it is likely that tick-borne viruses will continue to appear and cause public and veterinary health problems in the twenty-first century.
The purpose of this review is to describe some emerging diseases and their tick-borne viruses. Research in this area may lead to the development of new effective vaccines for the prevention of such infections, as etiotropic treatment does not currently exist.
