Molecular detection of novel Jingmen tick virus in hard ticks from diverse hosts in Guangxi, southwestern China
Our study uncovers a diverse tick fauna in Guangxi, including 4 genera and 6 species, and a broad virome with 13 viral families and 2 novel viruses. The JMTV, in particular, shows significant genetic diversity and potential for cross-species transmission, marked by new strains and recombination events. These findings underscore the need for vigilant tick-borne disease surveillance in Guangxi.
