Striking tick-borne virus diversity and potential reservoirs documented during One-Health-based cross-sectional screening in Anatolia
We described a previously undocumented diversity of tick-borne viral pathogens, CCHFV, TcTV-1, and JMTV, in Anatolia. Possible animal reservoirs of TcTV-1 were identified. These pathogens and TAMV should be considered in the diagnostic workup of cases with symptoms associated with tick bites and in future surveillance efforts.
