Abstract

The prevalence of Kemerovo virus in ixodid ticks collected in 2008-2012 from 11 regions of the Russian Federation was investigated by real-time reverse-transcription PCR (RT-PCR). The presence of Kemerovo virus in Ixodes persulcatus, Ixodes ricinus, and Dermacentor reticulatus was confirmed. Virus prevalence depended on the region and varied from zero to 10.1%.

Keywords: Ixodid ticks; Kemerovo fever; Kemerovo virus; Orbivirus genus; Real-time PCR; Russian Federation.
