The members of the <i>Quaranjavirus</i> genus are mainly associated with argas ticks but recent studies demonstrated the presence of novel quaranjaviruses-like in ixodid ticks. In 2020, 169 <i>Rhipicephalus sanguineus</i> ticks were collected in Southern Romania from small ruminants and analyzed by high-throughput transcriptome sequencing. Among the viral families that infect Romanian ticks, we have identified sequences from <i>Phenuiviridae</i> (Brown dog tick phlebovirus 1 [BDTPV1] and Brown dog tick phlebovirus 2 [BDTPV2]) and <i>Chuviridae</i> families (Cataloi mivirus [CTMV]), and numerous sequences from a new quaranjavirus-likeFrontiers in veterinary science863814https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9044029biostudies-literatureDetection of <i>Phenuiviridae, Chuviridae</i> Members, and a Novel <i>Quaranjavirus</i> in Hard Ticks From Danube Delta.PMC9044029Chretien DBratuleanu BESavuta Gvan der Werf STemmam SEloit MMunier SBigot TfalseDetection of <i>Phenuiviridae, Chuviridae</i> Members, and a Novel <i>Quaranjavirus</i> in Hard Ticks From Danube Delta.Ticks are involved in the transmission of various pathogens and several tick-borne diseases cause significant problems for the health of humans and livestock.
