During an extensive virological survey (1977-1986), 187 strains of five different arboviruses were isolated from 7,117 ticks parasitising seabirds in Brittany and Normandy, whereas only one viral strain was obtained from 1,414 ticks collected from the Southern coasts of France and Corsica. Among the many ecological factors involved in virus circulation in the two areas, the unequal sizes of the seabird colonies may probably explain the unbalanced distribution of viruses.
在一项广泛的病毒学调查（1977 - 1986年）中，从布列塔尼和诺曼底寄生于海鸟的7117只蜱虫中分离出了187株五种不同的虫媒病毒，而从法国南部海岸和科西嘉岛采集的1414只蜱虫中仅获得了一株病毒株。在这两个地区病毒传播所涉及的众多生态因素中，海鸟群落规模的不平等可能是病毒分布不均衡的原因。
