Abstract

Northeastern China has a high incidence of tick-borne diseases. Emerging and re-emerging tick-borne viral diseases pose a considerable threat to public health. To date, ten tick-borne viruses have been identified to cause disease in humans or animals in northeastern China. The complex diversity of tick-borne viral diseases in the region poses substantial diagnosis and treatment challenges, but also offers valuable opportunities to study the genetic evolution and transmission dynamics of tick-borne viruses.
