“…The Kaisodi group includes four members, including Kaisodi virus (KSDV) from H. spinigera ticks in 1957 (Bhatt et al 1966 ), Khasan virus (KHAV) from H. longicornis ticks in 1971 (Al’khovskii et al 2013 ), Lanjan virus (LJV) from Dermacentor auratus ticks in 1960 (Tan et al 1967 ), and Silverwater virus (SWV) isolated from H. leporispalustris ticks in 1960 (Hoff et al 1971 ). After the full-length genomes of these viruses were obtained recently, benefiting from NGS, these viruses have been identified as being novel TBPVs (Matsuno et al 2015 ).…”

Ticks are important vectors for the transmission of pathogens including viruses. The viruses carried by ticks also known as tick-borne viruses (TBVs), contain a large group of viruses with diverse genetic properties and are concluded in two orders, nine families, and at least 12 genera. Some members of the TBVs are notorious agents causing severe diseases with high mortality rates in humans and livestock, while some others may pose risks to public health that are still unclear to us. Herein, we review the current knowledge of TBVs with emphases on the history of virus isolation and identification, tick vectors, and potential pathogenicity to humans and animals, including assigned species as well as the recently discovered and unassigned species. All these will promote our understanding of the diversity of TBVs, and will facilitate the further investigation of TBVs in association with both ticks and vertebrate hosts.

Tick‐associated viruses remain a substantial zoonotic risk worldwide, so knowledge of the diversity of tick viruses has potential health consequences. Despite their importance, large amounts of sequences in public data sets from tick meta‐genomic and ‐transcriptomic projects remain unannotated, sequence data that could contain undocumented viruses. Through data mining and bioinformatic analysis of more than 37,800 public meta‐genomic and ‐transcriptomic data sets, we found 83 unannotated contigs exhibiting high identity with known tick viruses. These putative viral contigs were classified into three RNA viral families (Alphatetraviridae, Orthomyxoviridae and Chuviridae) and one DNA viral family (Asfarviridae). After manual checking of quality and dissimilarity towards other sequences in the data set, these 83 contigs were reduced to five contigs in the Alphatetraviridae from four putative viruses, four in the Orthomyxoviridae from two putative viruses and one in the Chuviridae which clustered with known tick‐associated viruses, forming a separate clade within the viral families. We further attempted to assess which previously known tick viruses likely represent zoonotic risks and thus deserve further investigation. We ranked the human infection potential of 133 known tick‐associated viruses using a genome composition‐based machine learning model. We found five high‐risk tick‐associated viruses (Langat virus, Lonestar tick chuvirus 1, Grotenhout virus, Taggert virus and Johnston Atoll virus) that have not been known to infect human and two viral families (Nairoviridae and Phenuiviridae) that contain a large proportion of potential zoonotic tick‐associated viruses. This adds to the knowledge of tick virus diversity and highlights the importance of surveillance of newly emerging tick‐associated diseases.

“…The genus Uukuvirus belongs to the family Phenuiviridae of the order Bunyavirales. According to Kuhn et al [22], the genus Uukuvirus includes Kabuto Mountain virus (KAMV) [6], Zaliv Terpeniya virus [27], Uukuvirus [8], American dog tick virus [40], Sunday Canyon virus [44], Grand Arbaud virus [14], Kaisodi virus [3,42] Dabieshan virus [26], EgAn 1825-61 virus (also known as Nile warbler virus) [33], Precarious Point virus [39], Murre virus [33],…”

Epidemiological study of Kabuto Mountain virus, a novel uukuvirus, in Japan

Kabuto Mountain virus (KAMV), the new member of the genus Uukuvirus, was isolated from the tick Haemaphysalis flava in 2018 in Japan. To date, there is no information on KAMV infection in human and animals. Therefore, serological surveillance of the infection among humans and wild mammals was conducted by virus-neutralization (VN) test and indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). Sera of 24 humans, 59 monkeys, 171 wild boars, 233 Sika deer, 7 bears, and 27 nutria in Yamaguchi Prefecture were analyzed by VN test. The positive ratio of humans, monkeys, wild boars, and Sika deer were 20.8 %, 3.4 %, 33.9 % and 4.7 %, respectively.No positive samples were detected in bears and nutria. The correlation coefficients between VN test and IFA in human, monkey, wild boar, and Sika deer sera were 0.5745, 0.7198, 0.9967 and 0.9525, respectively. In addition, KAMV was detected in one pool of Haemaphysalis formosensis ticks in Wakayama Prefecture. These results indicated that KAMV or KAMV-like virus is circulating among many wildlife and ticks, and that this virus incidentally infects humans.
