Abstract

Ticks show a vital function in the extent of diseases such as viral infection. Tick-borne viruses (TBVs) are a broad category of viruses with various genetic features transported by ticks. They are divided into two orders, 9 families, and at least 12 genera. Specific TBVs are well-known for producing serious infections with high fatality ratios in humans and livestock, whereas others may offer community-health dangers that (still uncovered) we don't yet understand. Throughout our study time, 27732 hard ticks were gathered from recently imported camels that had been butchered to detect the existence of some medically important TBVs. Ticks were assembled and tested for the existence of TBVs via real-time reverse transcription PCR (rRT-PCR) and nested RT-PCR. The molecular analysis of both RT-PCR results showed that the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) and Alkhumra hemorrhagic fever virus (AHFV) were detected in 25 tick pools (1.8%) and 14 tick pools (1.01%), respectively. Herein, we indicated the presence of CCHFV and AHFV in Egypt and demonstrated the possibility for TB-dissemination of the virus. Additionally, further analysis on tick and human samples are now demanded in epidemiological studies within the Egyptian land.
