Overview

Cross-sectional screening uncovers diverse tick-borne viral pathogens and potential cattle reservoirs in Anatolia, highlighting critical targets for regional vector surveillance.

Key Points

To investigate the diversity of tick-borne viruses and identify potential animal reservoirs using a One Health surveillance framework across distinct geographic zones in Anatolia.
Collected 1,265 ticks across 11 species along with 93 plasma samples from domestic animals and tortoises across 20 provinces during 2023-2024.
Organized tick samples into 192 pools and extracted nucleic acids from both tick pools and animal plasma.
Screened and sequenced targets using generic nairovirus assays and specific RT-PCR assays for Jingmen tick virus (JMTV), Tacheng tick viruses 1 and 2 (TcTV-1, TcTV-2), and Tamdy virus (TAMV).
Detected Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus in 10 tick pools (5.2%) spanning five species, identifying Europe 1, Europe 2, and Africa 1 lineages.
Identified TcTV-1 in 12 tick pools (6.3%) across six tick species and in one cattle plasma sample, with phylogenetic analysis revealing two novel clades.
Detected JMTV in 7 pools (3.6%), TAMV in 2 pools (1.0%), and uncovered a novel divergent nairovirus lineage in 4 pools (2.0%) of Haemaphysalis parva ticks.
