Full-length genome sequence of segmented RNA virus from ticks was obtained using small RNA sequencing data

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In 2014, a novel tick-borne virus of the Flaviviridae family was first reported in the Mogiana region of Brazil and named the Mogiana tick virus (MGTV). Thereafter, the Jingmen tick virus (JMTV), Kindia tick virus (KITV), and Guangxi tick virus (GXTV)-evolutionarily related to MGTV-were reported. RESULTS: In the present study, we used small RNA sequencing (sRNA-seq) to detect viruses in ticks and...
