Application progress of virus metagenomics in study of tick-borne virus
Ticks are specific blood-sucking ectoparasites which are widely distributed all over the world.They are one of the most important vector organism in the world,carrying pathogens including bacteria,viruses,spirochetes etc.Among them,tick-borne virus is the major arbovirus,which brings great burden to human and animal health.Virus metagenomics have been a virus research technology based on metagenomics in recent years.Its emergence provides strong support for the study of known and unknown viruses and their diversity,and brings new technical means and ideas to virus research.This paper reviews the research progress of viral metagenomics in tick-borne virus research to provide useful reference for tick-bome virus research.
