The discovery of a novel orthonairovirus from Dermacentor silvarum ticks near the China–North Korea border CDCgov ticks virus orthonairovirus china korea novelvirus transmission
By Pooja Toshniwal PahariaMay 16 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in the Emerging Infectious Diseases Journal, researchers isolated a novel virus of the Orthonairovirus genus from samples of the Dermacentor silvarum tick species near the border between North Korea and China.
Continued viral surveillance could enable the identification of new viral species and facilitate early diagnosis and prompt treatment of infections caused by them, thereby reducing the global health burden of viral infections. Viral ribonucleic acid was extracted from the infected cell supernatants, complementary deoxyribonucleic acid was synthesized, DNA libraries were prepared, and Sanger sequencing was performed. Subsequently, the viral reads were filtered based on their quality and length.
In total, 40,826,350.0 and 266.0 viral reads and related contigs were generated. Of which three contigs, the small contig including 1,516.0 base pairs, the medium contig including 3,936.0 base pairs, and the large contig including 12,133.0 base pairs, belonged to the Songling virus , an Orthonairovirus.
