Isolation of a Soldado-like virus (Hughes group) from Ornithodorus maritimus ticks in Ireland

J E Keirans et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

Three isolations of a virus of the Hughes group were obtained from seabird ectoparasites, Ornithodoros (Alectorobius) maritimus, on Great Saltee Island, Ireland. The agent is closely related to Soldado virsu, originally obtained from related ticks near Trinidad, West Indies, and represents the second recorded tickborne arbovirus in Ireland.
