ABSTRACT

The nairovirus genus includes seven species accepted by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV). Most of these species have several members, which are hosted by arthropods or transmitted by ticks between bats, birds or rodents. Also migratory birds may interact with ticks and tick-borne pathogens. These viruses are most commonly transmitted by ticks, although they can also be transmitted by mosquitoes or Culicoides flies. The patients are treated with a combination of benzylpenicillin and ribavirin.
