Kemerovo tickborne viral fever is an aparalytic febrile illness accompanied by meningism following tick-bite. ^[1] The causative agent is a zoonotic Orbivirus first described in 1963 in western Siberia by Mikhail Chumakov and coworkers. ^[2] The virus has some 23 serotypes , and can occur in coinfections with other Orbiviruses and tick-transmitted encephalitis viruses, complicating the course of illness. ^[3] Rodents and birds are the primary vertebrate hosts of the virus; ^[4] Ixodes persulcatus ticks are a vector of the virus. ^[5] Kemerovo and related viruses may be translocated distances in the environment by migratory birds . ^[6]
