First evidence of transovarial transmission of Kyasanur Forest disease virus in Haemaphysalis and Rhipicephalus ticks in the wild by Sarah J. Burthe, Bhimanagoud Kumbar, Stefanie M. Schäfer, Bethan V. Purse, Abi T. Vanak, Natrajan Balakrishnan, Richard Hassall, Subhash L. Hoti, Darshan Narayanaswamy, Santoshkumar Potadar, Mujeeb Rahman, Mohammed Mudassar Chanda

“…Here we set out to establish whether transovarial transmission of KFDV was occurring under natural field conditions by assessing whether host-seeking larvae were positive for KFDV. Methods Ticks were sampled by dragging and flagging across a broad range of habitats within the agro-forest matrix at 49 sites in two districts: Shivamogga, Karnataka and Wayanad, Kerala (September 2018-March 2019), and larvae were tested for KFDV by PCR. …”
