The study demonstrated experimental acquisition and transmission of Heartland bandavirus by Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks, indicating horizontal transmission and transovarial transmission of the virus. The virus was detected in tick salivary gland and midgut tissues, showing that H. longicornis ticks can transmit the virus through different tissues.
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.
