Detection and prevalence of a novel Bandavirus related to Guertu virus in Amblyomma gemma ticks and human populations in Isiolo County, Kenya

Abstract

Isolation of this novel virus with the potential to cause disease in human and animal populations necessitates the need to evaluate its public health significance and contribution to disease burden in the affected regions. This also points to the need for continuous monitoring of vector and human populations in high-risk ecosystems to update pathogen diversity.
