Abstract

Jingmen tick virus (JMTV) is a novel tick-borne segmented RNA virus that is closely related to un-segmental RNA virus in evolution. It has been confirmed that JMTV could be a causative agent of human disease. In this study, a total of 3658 ticks were sampled from 7 provinces of China and then divided into 545 pools according to the location and species. QRT-PCR and nested PCR were performed to confirm the presence of JMTV. The results showed JMTV was identified in 5 out of 7 provinces with an average infection rate of 1.4% (51/3658). Phylogenetic analysis indicated that all JMTV strains identified in this study were closely related to each other and formed a well-supported sub-lineage. Our results provide molecular evidence of JMTV in different species of ticks from endemic and non-endemic regions and demonstrate that JMTV, as a natural foci pathogen, may be widely distributed all over China.
