Metagenomic analysis revealed co-circulation of tick-borne viruses in ticks and livestock, indicating regional disease risks.

Three tick-borne viruses were identified, with Songling virus detected in various regions and livestock.
The highest infection rate from ticks was found for Dabieshan tick virus at 4.73%, while sheep showed a 45.24% positivity for Songling virus.
Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated evolutionary ties between viruses from ticks and livestock, highlighting their dynamic transmission.
These findings underscore the need for effective surveillance strategies to address public health concerns related to vector-borne diseases.

Liu et al. (2025) studied this question.
