Ticks are efficient vectors of arboviruses, although less than 10% of tick species are known
to be virus vectors. Most tick-borne viruses (TBV) are RNA viruses some of which cause …

In Slovakia, 22 tick species have been found to occur to date. Among them, Ixodes ricinus,
Dermacentor reticulatus, D. marginatus and marginally Haemaphysalis concinna, H. inermis …

The ixodid tick Haemaphysalis concinna Koch, 1844 is a proven vector of tick-borne
encephalitis (TBE) virus and Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularaemia. In the …

ABSTRACT Murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68) is a small-animal model suitable for
study of the human pathogens Epstein-Barr virus and Kaposi's sarcoma-associated …

Pathogenesis and reservoir host adaptation of animal and zoonotic viruses are poorly
understood due to missing adequate cell culture and animal models. The bank vole …

Herpesviruses are a large group of DNA viruses infecting mainly vertebrates. Murine
gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV68) is often used as a model in studies of the pathogenesis of …

The aim of this work was to give an overview of murid herpesvirus 4 (MuHV-4)(synonyms:
murine gammaherpesvirus 68, mouse herpesvirus strain 68), the first model for the study of …

Ecology and epidemiology of murine gammaherpesvirus 68 (MHV-68) have been
intensively studied since the isolation of the virus from murid rodents in 1976. This virus was …

Ticks transmit a wide range of viral, bacterial, and protozoal pathogens, which are often
zoonotic. Several novel tick-borne viral pathogens have been reported during the past few …

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 …
