“…Most of them belong to orders Bunyavirales and Mononegavirales and families of Flaviviridae, Asfarviridae, Reoviridae, and Orthomyxoviridae [43]. In recent years, the rapid development of next generation sequencing (NGS) has boosted the discovery of novel TBVs, many of them still unassigned to families (reviewed by [44]). At present, more than 16 specific tick-borne diseases (TBDs) of humans and 19 TBDs of veterinary importance have been described [42,45].…”

MHV-68, closely related to human gammaherpesviruses (Epstein-Barr virus and Kaposi's sarcoma herpesvirus), is a natural pathogen of murid rodents commonly infested with ticks. After the first finding of MHV-68 in immature Ixodes ricinus ticks removed from wild green lizards, its occurrence was proved in free-living Dermacentor reticulatus, I. ricinus, and Haemaphysalis concinna ticks. Next, finding of live MHV-68 in salivary glands, intestine, and ovaries of D. reticulatus ticks strongly supported the idea that MHV-68 could be transmitted from infected to uninfected host via blood-feeding ticks. Recently, experimental transmission of MHV-68 between I. ricinus ticks and mouse and vice versa proved that MHV-68 could be vertically and horizontally transmitted from F0 to F1 tick generation, and thus, MHV-68 is a tick-borne virus (arbovirus). Therefore, ticks commonly attack humans transmitting important pathogens (e.g., tick-borne encephalitis virus and the Lyme disease spirochete); there is the speculation that MHV-68 can also infect humans via ticks. Earlier studies documented antibodies to MHV-68 in the sera of laboratory workers, hunters, and general population as well. In future, we need to carefully test whether people bitten by ticks are at real risk of infection with MHV-68 that normally infects murid rodents, and what effect it may have.

“…Ticks belong to the Arthropoda phylum, Arachnida class,Acari subclass, Parasitiform order and Ixodida suborder (Estrada-Pena et al, 2010). Three tick families are classified as Ixodidae (hard ticks), Argasidae (soft ticks), and Nuttalliellidae (restricted Tanzania and South Africa) (Shi et al,2018). More than 900 tick species have been classified by the world.…”

This study focused on many kinds of ticks distributed in Iraq and on various kinds of domestic and wild animals, and the distribution of ticks affected by the environment such as temperature and humidity,and to identify the diseases caused by ticks where the vertebrates are exposed to many diseases and inflammatory and allergic reactions as a result of a tick bite containing toxins in the saliva of the tick, which causes paralysis and lead to death, authors were able to review most of the local and international studies related to Tick's diagnosis (classification), especially tick species distribution in Iraq. Aim of this study was to create a database and put an important reference for all researchers and authors who plan to study this field more comprehensively in the future.

“…The latest systematics of tick‐borne viruses classifies them into two orders ( Bunyavirales and Mononegavirales ), nine families ( Nairoviridae, Peribunyaviridae, Phenuiviridae, Nyamiviridae, Rhabdoviridae, Asfarviridae, Flaviviridae, Orthomyxoviridae , and Reoviridae ) and at least 12 genera ( Nyavirus‐like, Phlebovirus‐like, Nairovirus‐like, Chuvirus, Orbivirus, Coltivirus, Thogotovirus, Quarjavirus, Flavivirus, Asfivirus, Vesiculovirus, Ledantevirus, Nyavirus, Phlebovirus, Orthobunyavirus, and Orthonairovirus ) (Shi et al . 2018). These genera contain various species; for example, the genus Orthonairovirus is comprised of nine species (Walker et al .…”

Ticks are ectoparasites that transmit pathogens, such as tick‐borne viruses, to their hosts. Tick‐borne viruses are diverse: they can be categorized into two orders, nine families, and at least 12 genera. Almost 25% of these viruses are infectious to humans and some are a serious threat to public health. The global rise in tick‐borne virus diseases has been linked to climate change which has reduced tick mortality in the winter and extended their active period. The spread of tick‐borne viral diseases to humans has received significant interest due to the increased threat to human life; epidemiological monitoring of tick‐borne viruses using molecular, immunological, and environmental methods is now a priority. Nevertheless, many tick‐borne diseases remain undiagnosed, which poses a challenge to public administration and health care officials. This review discusses three major tick‐borne RNA viruses that cause serious infection in humans: severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) virus, tick‐borne encephalitis (TBE), and Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) virus. Specifically, we discuss the epidemiological monitoring, vector control measures, molecular diagnostics, vaccines, and environmental determinants related to these viruses. Furthermore, we review the current surveillance of these tick‐borne viruses with a specific focus on diagnostic approaches that employ molecular interventions such as viral nucleic acid isolation, PCR‐based diagnostics, and high‐throughput sequencing technologies.
