Overview

Virome surveillance uncovers diverse viral taxa including a novel rhabdovirus in Hyalomma marginatum ticks, highlighting the importance of pathogen monitoring in migratory bird hubs.

Key Points

  • To characterize the virome of Hyalomma marginatum ticks in an essential migratory bird hub to assess arboviral diversity and potential health risks.
  • Sampled Hyalomma marginatum ticks from the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve in Romania.
  • Performed high-throughput RNA sequencing to identify and characterize the viral communities present within the tick population.
  • Identified viral sequences corresponding to Volzhskoe tick virus, Balambala tick virus, and Bole tick virus 4.
  • Discovered a novel Rhabdoviridae-related virus designated as Hyalomma marginatum rhabdovirus.
  • Found no detectable sequences of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus or other CCHFV-related nairoviruses in the tested samples.
