Coinfection of Bovine ephemeral fever virus and ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos’ in cattle in Central China: implications for tick-borne transmission and viral divergence

Abstract Background In central China, free-range cattle face high risks of exposure to arthropod-borne pathogens like Bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) and ‘Candidatus Mycoplasma haemobos’ (‘Ca. M. haemobos’). Despite their co-endemicity, the role of ticks in BEFV transmission remains unexplored i...
