The species distribution of ticks & amp; the prevalence of Kyasanur forest disease virus in questing nymphal ticks from Western Ghats of Kerala, South India

CONCLUSIONS: The circulation of KFDV was detected and its correlation with the prevalence in ticks near the fragmented forest and teak plantation areas of Wayanad district. Residents and visitors of these regions may become vulnerable to tick bites and to an increased risk of KFD as the distribution of established, infected tick populations continues to expand.PMID:35532592 | DOI:10.4103/ijmr.IJMR_234_19
