Abstract
The strain Kaz-816 of Karshi virus was isolated in 1976 from Hyalomma asiaticum ticks collected in the North of Central Asia (Alma-Ata region of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic). Both ticks and mosquitoes can be vectors of Karshi virus as proved experimentally by reproduction of the virus in H. asiaticum and Dermacentor daghestanicus ticks and Culex pipiens molestus, Anopheles atroparvus and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes as well as by transmission to newborn mice by the bite of infected mosquitoes.
