Lone Star Virus

Lone Star virus is an arbovirus that belongs to an ecological group of viruses transmitted through blood-sucking insects. Based on antigenic characteristics, this virus is not assigned to any group, and its generic affiliation has not yet been determined.

Lone Star virus was first discovered in the United States in 1964 in Texas and was named after the county where it was discovered. This virus was originally isolated from the blood of a person who complained of severe headache, fever and rash.
