“…Interestingly, Chios virus sequences were initially identified in a case of severe encephalitis, revealing potential pathogenicity of many SFSV‐like viruses for humans. In concordance with these observations, the first novel SBP characterized in Turkey, SFTV, was isolated from febrile individuals and phylogenetically grouped with the members of the proposed SFSV species, along with SFSV, SFCV, and Corfou virus . Sandfly fever Turkey virus is repeatedly detected and well explored as a causative agent of febrile disease in humans throughout Anatolia, with clinical and laboratory characteristics indicating that the strain is capable of inducing severe infections with prominent gastrointestinal symptoms and even central nervous system invasion .…”

Sandfly-transmitted phleboviruses are globally spread agents causing febrile diseases and central nervous system infections. The activity of pathogenic phleboviruses, as well as several novel strains, has been reported from Turkey, a transboundary country connecting Asia, Europe, and Africa with suitable habitats for sandflies. This study overviews all published data on phleboviruses from Turkey and evaluates the impact from the virological, epidemiological, and public health perspectives. A systematic review of Web-based global and local resources was performed. Comparison and phylogenetic analyses of particular phlebovirus sequences were also undertaken. Through the evaluation of 1693 international and regional entries, 31 manuscripts providing data on case reports or outbreaks, serological surveillance, animal infections and exposure, virus characterization, vector surveillance, and/or diagnostics were accessed. Detailed information on 5 novel phleboviruses completely or partially characterized during 2008-2015 as well as on clinical and epidemiological features of major phleboviruses established as human pathogens such as Toscana virus and sandfly fever Sicilian virus has been compiled. The ongoing activity of these agents, as indicated by consistently reported symptomatic cases and confirmed exposure in vertebrates including humans, was noted. The circulation in the Anatolian peninsula of phleboviruses with surprising diversity as well as distinct virus species is documented. Specific phlebovirus strains constitute a public health threat for local populations and travelers and must be considered in the diagnostic workup of clinically compatible cases. Human health impact and epidemiological aspects of certain viruses require further investigation via intensive surveillance.

“…The family Bunyaviridae ranks among the largest families of RNA viruses. The family has more than 530 named members that are either assigned to the five included genera Hantavirus , Nairovirus , Orthobunyavirus , Phlebovirus , or Tospovirus , or remain to be classified [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. Many bunyaviruses can cause disease in humans.…”

“…In addition, bunyaviruses can cause severe disease in wild and domesticated animals and wild or cultivated crop or ornamental plants (tospoviruses only). The majority of bunyaviruses is transmitted among hosts by arthropods (predominantly mosquitoes, ticks, sandflies, biting midges, or thrips), whereas hantaviruses are transmitted by contaminated excreta or secreta or bites of infected rodents, eulipotyphla, or bats [ 1 , 3 ]. In addition, several genus-level clades of insect-specific bunyaviruses (Ferak and Jonchet virus clades, “goukoviruses”, “herbeviruses”, “phasmaviruses”) have been described recently.…”

“…Viruses of the Anopheles A serogroup have been isolated from Aedes and Anopheles mosquitoes mostly collected in South American and Caribbean countries. Eleven different viruses of this group have been assigned to the two species Anopheles A orthobunyavirus (Anopheles A, Arumateua, Caraipé, Las Maloyas, Lukuni, Trombetas, Tucuruí viruses) and Tacaiuma orthobunyavirus (CoAr 1071, CoAr 3627, Tacaiuma, Virgin River viruses) [ 1 , 2 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. We present coding-complete sequence information for Lukuni virus, which was originally isolated from Aedes mosquitoes collected in 1955 in Trinidad and Brazil [ 33 ], but has not been associated with human disease.…”

“…Capim serogroup viruses are classified into five species: Acara orthobunyavirus (Acara, Moriche viruses), Benevides orthobunyavirus (Benevides virus), Bushbush orthobunyavirus (Benfica, Bushbush, Juan Diaz viruses), Capim orthobunyavirus (Capim virus), and Guajará orthobunyavirus (Guajará virus). These viruses are endemic to South and Northern America, where they are transmitted by mosquitoes among small vertebrates [ 1 , 2 , 32 ]. We determined the coding-complete sequence of Capim virus and Guajará virus.…”

The family Bunyaviridae has more than 530 members that are distributed among five genera or remain to be classified. The genus Orthobunyavirus is the most diverse bunyaviral genus with more than 220 viruses that have been assigned to more than 18 serogroups based on serological cross-reactions and limited molecular-biological characterization. Sequence information for all three orthobunyaviral genome segments is only available for viruses belonging to the Bunyamwera, Bwamba/Pongola, California encephalitis, Gamboa, Group C, Mapputta, Nyando, and Simbu serogroups. Here we present coding-complete sequences for all three genome segments of 15 orthobunyaviruses belonging to the Anopheles A, Capim, Guamá, Kongool, Tete, and Turlock serogroups, and of two unclassified bunyaviruses previously not known to be orthobunyaviruses (Tataguine and Witwatersrand viruses). Using those sequence data, we established the most comprehensive phylogeny of the Orthobunyavirus genus to date, now covering 15 serogroups. Our results emphasize the high genetic diversity of orthobunyaviruses and reveal that the presence of the small nonstructural protein (NSs)-encoding open reading frame is not as common in orthobunyavirus genomes as previously thought.

Vector‐borne viruses pose a significant health problem worldwide, as they are transmitted to humans through the bite of infected arthropods such as mosquitoes and ticks. In recent years, emerging and re‐emerging vector‐borne diseases have gained attention as they can cause a wide spectrum of neurological manifestations. The neurological manifestations of vector‐borne viruses encompass a board spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from mild and self‐limiting symptoms to severe and life‐threatening conditions. Common neurological complications include viral encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis, aseptic meningitis, and various neuromuscular disorders. The specific viruses responsible for these neurological sequelae vary by geographic region and include Orthoflavivirus nilense, Zika virus, dengue virus, chikungunya virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and tick‐borne encephalitis virus. This review focuses on the pathogenesis of these neurologic complications and highlights the mechanisms by which vector‐borne viruses invade the central nervous system and trigger neuroinflammatory responses. Diagnostic challenges and strategies for early detection of neurological manifestations are discussed, emphasising the importance of clinical suspicion and advanced laboratory testing.
