Different studies have shown that viral pathogens, such as Thogoto viruses, Wad Medani virus, Nairobi sheep disease virus, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus, African swine fever virus and Tick-borne encephalitis virus [1, [6] [7] [8] , can be found in Rhipicephalus ticks. Numerous studies have used metagenomics to explore viral communities in different arthropod species and have in these identified viruses associated with a broad range of animals, plants and insects. However, the identified ORFs exhibit high genetic diversity to known quaranjavirus genomes, with an amino acid identity of only 32-55%, indicating that these represent novel viral sequences belonging to the Quaranjavirus genus. The parvovirus sequences identified in the current study had closest similarity to non-structural protein 1 of different densoviruses, which were shown previously to integrate into tick genomes such as in Ixodes, Amblyomma and Rhipicephalus genera [28, 29] . ./cache/cord-270243-moxleyjg.txt ./txt/cord-270243-moxleyjg.txt
