Description
| - The aim of this review is to present background information on 27 tick-borne viruses that have been detected in Europe, viz flaviviruses tick-borne encephalitis, louping-ill, Tyuleniy, and Meaban; orthobunyaviruses Bahig and Matruh; phleboviruses Grand Arbaud, Ponteves, Uukuniemi, Zaliv Terpeniya, and St. Abb’s Head; nairoviruses Soldado, Puffin Island, Avalon, Clo Mor, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever; bunyavirus Bhanja; coltivirus Eyach; orbiviruses Tribec, Okhotskiy, Cape Wrath, Mykines, Tindholmur, and Bauline; thogotoviruses (Thogoto, Dhori); and asfivirus (African swine fever virus). Emphasis is laid on the taxonomic status of these viruses, range of their ixodid or argasid vectors and vertebrate hosts, pathogenicity for vertebrates, and relevance for public health. This review also indicates potential emergence of a number of generally 'neglected' (except for tick-borne encephalitis and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever) tiboviruses and infections in Europe.
