Ticks are important vectors for the transmission of pathogens including viruses.
The viruses carried by ticks also known as tick-borne viruses (TBVs), contain a
large group of viruses with diverse genetic properties and are concluded in two
orders, nine families, and at least 12 genera. Some members of the TBVs are
notorious agents causing severe diseases with high mortality rates in humans and
livestock, while some others may pose risks to public health that are still
unclear to us. Herein, we review the current knowledge of TBVs with emphases on
the history of virus isolation and identification, tick vectors, and potential
pathogenicity to humans and animals, including assigned species as well as the
recently discovered and unassigned species. All these will promote our
understanding of the diversity of TBVs, and will facilitate the further
investigation of TBVs in association with both ticks and vertebrate hosts.
