TY - JOUR AU - Raney, Wilson AU - Perry, Josiah AU - Hermance, Meghan T1 - Transovarial Transmission of Heartland Virus by Invasive Asian Longhorned Ticks under Laboratory Conditions T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2022 VL - 28 IS - 3 SP - 726 SN - 1080-6059 AB - We demonstrated experimental acquisition and transmission of Heartland bandavirus by Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks. Virus was detected in tick salivary gland and midgut tissues. A total of 80% of mice exposed to 1 infected tick seroconverted, suggesting horizontal transmission. H. longicornis ticks can transmit the virus in the transovarial mode.
