In 2010, the Jingmen tick virus (JMTV) was discovered in ticks China and has been shown to be distributed several regions worldwide. Recently, cases of JMTV infection humans have reported Kosovo, attracting much attention as an emerging tick-borne disease. this study, we detected genome Amblyomma testudinarium collected Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, during surveillance conducted Kanto district. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that new strain is closely related previous strains Japan. This suggests may maintained independent natural transmission cycle addition, unlike other countries regions, all Japan were only A. ticks, suggesting species primary vector report first detect region. Further studies are required elucidate potential risk by particular, prevalence wild animals should examined clarify its geographical distribution, host range, nature.

During the 3-year period (2020–2022), 49 cases of tick bites were presented to Japanese Red Cross Ashikaga Hospital in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. More than 60% all between March and September occurred within two months (May June). Amblyomma testudinarium was responsible for 40 among bite cases. Specifically, 41 individuals this species (39 nymphs/2 adult females) linked (The point estimate 0.79 with a 95% confidence interval 0.67–1.00). There 38 City, 23 which vicinity patients' houses (gardens fields). Suspected Tick-associated rash illness (TARI) first recorded May 2020, total five ( i.e., patients aged 50 years or older). TARI is indicative repeated bites, points permanent settlement A. around City. Therefore, we believe that greater efforts should be implemented towards detection tick-associated infections area, including Severe fever thrombocytopenia syndrome virus considered as major vector.
