Güneydoğu Kazakistan’da Sert Kenelerde Tacheng Kene Virüsü 2’nin İlk Tespiti

Güneydoğu Kazakistan’a ait kenelerde Tacheng kene virüsü 2’nin (TcTV-2) varlığının araştırılmasını amaçladık. Toplam 205 kene toplandı ve keneler Hyalomma scupense, Dermacentor marginatus, Hyalomma asiaticum ve Hyalomma anatolicum olmak üzere dört türe ayrıldı. TcTV- 2’nin kısmi S segmenti, tür ayırımı yapılmış kenelerin bireysel RNA’sında reverse transkriptaz-polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu ile tespit edildi. Kenelerin %11.22’si (23/205) viral S segmenti yönünden pozitifti. Bu, Kazakistan’da Hy. scupense ve Hy. anatolicum’da TcTV-2’nin varlığına dair ilk bildirimdir. Bu bulgu, kene türleri ve TcTV-2’nin coğrafi dağılımı hakkında bilgi sunmaktadır.

First Detection of Tacheng Tick Virus 2 in Hard Ticks from Southeastern Kazakhstan

We aim to detect the presence of Tacheng tick virus 2 (TcTV-2) in ticks of southeastern Kazakhstan. A total of 205 ticks were collected and separated into four species, namely Hyalomma scupense, Dermacentor marginatus, Hyalomma asiaticum and Hyalomma anatolicum. The partial S segment of TcTV-2 was detected in individual RNA of separated ticks by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. 11.22% (23/205) of ticks were positive to the viral S segment. This is first report of presence of the TcTV-2 in Hy. scupense and Hy. anatolicum from Kazakhstan. This finding extends tick species and the geographic distribution of TcTV-2.
