Coinfection of Bovine ephemeral fever virus and ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos’ in cattle in Central China: implications for tick-borne transmission and viral divergence
This study provides the first evidence of ticks as potential BEFV carriers in China and highlights that coinfection with 'Ca. M. haemobos' may be a factor in severe disease outcomes. The distinct evolutionary profile of HN2437 strain underscores the need for evaluating effect of vaccine in use.
