Virome of Ixodes ricinus , Dermacentor reticulatus , and Haemaphysalis concinna Ticks from Croatia.

Tick-borne diseases are a serious threat to both public and veterinary health. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing to characterize the virome of three tick species implicated in the spread of vector-borne disease throughout Croatia. Ten viruses were identified, including seven potential novel species within the viral families Flaviviridae , Nyamiviridae , Rhabdoviridae , Peribunyaviridae , Phenuiviridae , and Nairoviridae .
