New Tick Virus Found in China | Orlando News
Description
Scientists in China have uncovered a new tick-borne virus called ALTNV, linked to flu-like symptoms, fatigue, and stomach issues — and it’s not alone: found in over 10% of tick bite victims, it often teams up with another virus (DBV), worsening outcomes like breathing and kidney problems. With 18% of infected patients dying, experts warn doctors must quickly identify which virus is at play — especially as ticks carry multiple threats. While this tick hasn’t reached the U.S., it’s a stark reminder: protect yourself outdoors — repellent and checks are key.
