Evaluation of the vector competence of Ixodes persulcatus in the maintenance and transmission of Alongshan virus under laboratory conditions
The results demonstrate that <i>I. persulcatus</i> ticks are competent vectors for ALSV, capable of transmitting the virus both vertically and horizontally with high efficiency, with tick bite-induced modulation of viral levels in mice varying according to the developmental stage of the tick.
