The low genetic diversity of the Jingmen tick virus in Guinea sheds light on the recent introduction of the virus to West Africa
These findings suggest that JMTV has recently been introduced to Guinea through livestock trade networks, with R. microplus ticks likely facilitating its spread. The evidence of reassortment highlights the adaptive potential of this virus in new ecosystems.
