Reoviruses: Colorado Tick Fever Virus and Other Vector-Borne Reoviruses

Viral Infections of Humans

Abstract

Reoviruses are associated with a diversity of hosts, transmission mechanisms, geographic locations, and disease presentations in plants, animals, and humans. Of the different genera of reoviruses, three (Coltivirus, Orbivirus, and Seadornavirus) contain viruses that have been identified to cause human disease or infection and are considered to be vector-borne. These viruses are primarily transmitted to humans through the bite of an infected tick (coltiviruses and orbiviruses) or mosquito (seadornaviruses). The oldest and perhaps most recognized human vector-borne virus among Reoviridae Family is Colorado tick fever (CTF) virus, which causes an acute febrile illness in persons exposed in the Western United States and Canada. Other vector-borne reoviruses, Banna, Eyach, Kemerovo, Lipovník, and Tribeč viruses, have caused human disease in Europe and Asia and have been primarily identified in patients with neuroinvasive (e.g., encephalitis and meningitis) disease. There is currently no treatment or vaccine to prevent any of these viral illnesses. Prevention relies on avoiding bites of infected vectors through use of insect repellent, wearing long-sleeves and pants, and, in the case of CTF, deferring blood donations from infected persons. This chapter reviews the basic virology, ecology, epidemiology, clinical disease, laboratory diagnosis, and prevention of these arboviruses.
