First detection of the Jingmen tick virus in Amblyomma testudinarium ticks from the Kanto district, Japan

In particular, the prevalence of JMTV in wild animals should be examined to clarify its geographical distribution, host range, and transmission cycle in nature.PMID:38171848 | DOI:10.7883/yoken.JJID.2023.347
