波旁病毒（BRBV）于2014年首次从美国堪萨斯州波旁县的一名居民身上分离出来，该居民死于感染。2015年，俄克拉荷马州佩恩县一名患病居民在完全康复之前，对BRBV抗体检测呈阳性。我们对来自密苏里州西北部的39,096只蜱进行了回顾性BRBV检测，该地区距离堪萨斯州波旁县240公里。我们在3个美洲钝眼蜱（Amblyomma americanum（L.）蜱：1池雄性成虫和2池蜱。BRBV在A. americanum是一种攻击性很强的物种，以人类为食，在堪萨斯和俄克拉荷马州大量存在，这支持了A. americanum是人类BRBV的载体。BRBV尚未在非人类脊椎动物中检测到，其自然史在很大程度上仍然未知。
Bourbon virus (BRBV) was first isolated in 2014 from a resident of Bourbon County, Kansas, USA, who died of the infection. In 2015, an ill Payne County, Oklahoma, resident tested positive for antibodies to BRBV, before fully recovering. We retrospectively tested for BRBV in 39,096 ticks from northwestern Missouri, located 240 km from Bourbon County, Kansas. We detected BRBV in 3 pools of Amblyomma americanum (L.) ticks: 1 pool of male adults and 2 pools of nymphs. Detection of BRBV in A. americanum, a species that is aggressive, feeds on humans, and is abundant in Kansas and Oklahoma, supports the premise that A. americanum is a vector of BRBV to humans. BRBV has not been detected in nonhuman vertebrates, and its natural history remains largely unknown.
