Hunters are at a higher risk for exposure to zoonotic pathogens due to their close interactions with wildlife and arthropod vectors. In this study, high throughput sequencing was used to explore the viromes of two tick species, Amblyomma dissimile and Haemaphysalis juxtakochi, removed from hunted wildlife in Trinidad and Tobago. We identified sequences from 3 new viral species, from the viral families Orthomyxoviridae, Chuviridae and Tetraviridae in A. dissimile.
猎人由于与野生动物和节肢动物媒介密切接触,因此面临更高的暴露于人畜共患病原体的风险。在这项研究中,高通量测序用于探索从特立尼达和多巴哥被猎野生动物身上清除的两种蜱,即钝缘蜱和边缘革蜱的病毒组。我们在钝缘蜱中鉴定出 3 种新病毒,来自正粘病毒科、风疹病毒科和四病毒科。
