Ticks; a reservoir for virus emergence at the human-livestock interface in Uganda

2023-03-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Uganda is one of the most biodiverse regions on the planet and a hotspot for virus emergence. In particular, the warm-humid lowlands favour tick population growth with the associated risk of tick-borne disease. The prevalent tick species Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, R. evertsi evertsi and Amblyomma variegatum harbour a diverse range of viruses, from harmless to highly pathogenic. Notably, t...
