==Transmission==
Tibrogargan virus was the first tibrovirus discovered<ref>Cybinski, D. H., St. George, T. D., Standfast, H. A. & McGregor, A. Isolation of tibrogargan virus, a new Australian rhabdovirus, from Culicoides brevitarsis. Veterinary Microbiology 5, 301–308 (1980)</ref>. It was isolated from a pool of biting midges (''Culicoides brevitaris'') collected in 1976 in Preachester, Australia.
BHV, BAV, SWBV and TIBV were isolated from biting midges, suggesting that midges are the major arthropod vector for these viruses. It is not known how BASV, EKV-1 and EKV-2 are transmitted.{{cn|date=November 2022}}


==Genetic divergence==
In 1981, Coastal Plains virus was isolated from the blood of a healthy, asymptomatic steer<ref>Cybinski, D. H. & Gard, G. P. Isolation of a new rhabdovirus in Australia related to Tibrogargan virus. Aust. J. Biol. Sci. 39, 225–232 (1986</ref>.
Tibroviruses are highly divergent.  For example, overall amino acid homology among the human-associated tibroviruses (i.e. BASV, EKV-1 and EKV-2) ranges from 33% - 39%.<ref name=":1" />

Between 1981-1982, two tibroviruses were isolated from biting midges in Florida<ref>Gibbs, E. P. et al. Bivens arm virus: a new rhabdovirus isolated from Culicoides insignis in Florida and related to Tibrogargan virus of Australia. Vet. Microbiol. 19, 141–150 (1989)</ref>. These midges were feeding on Water Buffalo imported from Trinidad.

In 1984, another tibrovirus from Australia was reported<ref>StandJast, H. et al. Isolation of Arboviruses from Insects Collected at Beatrice Hill, Northern Territory of Australia, 1974?1976. Australian Journal of Biological Sciences 37, 351 (1984)</ref>. This tibrovirus was named Beatrice Hill virus. It is 72% identical to Tibrogargan virus and Bivens Arm virus.

In 2012, a novel tibrovirus called Bas-Congo was detected in the plasma of a patient in the Democratic Republic of Congo suffering from symptoms resembling hemorrhagic fever<ref>Grard, G. et al. A novel rhabdovirus associated with acute hemorrhagic fever in central Africa. PLoS Pathog. 8, (2012)</ref>. The patient recovered from his illness.

In 2015, two more human-associated tibroviruses were reported<ref>Stremlau, M. H. et al. Discovery of novel rhabdoviruses in the blood of healthy individuals from West Africa. PLoS Negl Trop Dis 9, e0003631 (2015)</ref>. These viruses, called Ekpoma virus 1 and Ekpoma virus 2, were detected in plasma samples from two healthy women in Nigeria.

== Transmission ==

Tibrogargan virus, Bivens Arm virus, Beatrice Hill virus, and Sweetwater Branch virus were all isolated from biting midges. It is therefore highly likely that biting midges are the primary insect vector for these viruses. It is not known how Bas-Congo, Ekpoma virus 1 or Ekpoma virus 2 are transmitted.

== Clinical Disease ==
With the exception of Bas-Congo virus, none of the other tibroviruses have been associated with disease.

Antibodies that neutralize Tibrogargan virus have been found in cattle and buffalo in Australia. Some herd are 100% seropositive. However, Tibrogargan antibodies have never been detected in humans. Furthermore, no disease has been associated with Tibrogargan virus. Cattle have been experimentally inoculated with Tibrovirus, but no overt signs of illness have been observed<ref>Cybinski, D. H., St. George, T. D., Standfast, H. A. & McGregor, A. Isolation of tibrogargan virus, a new Australian rhabdovirus, from Culicoides brevitarsis. Veterinary Microbiology 5, 301–308 (1980)</ref>.

Bas-Congo virus has been associated with a case of hemorrhagic fever. However, it is not known whether Bas-Congo virus actually caused the patient's illness.

The Ekpoma viruses are not associated with clinical symptoms in Nigeria. The two viruses were detected in two apparently healthy, asymptomatic women.

==Morphology==
Tibrovirus virions are enveloped and may form the prototypical bullet-shaped morphology of other rhabdoviruses.

Species[1]

Tibrovirus is a poorly characterized genus of viruses in the family Rhabdoviridae, order Mononegavirales. There are 8 members of the genus.[3] Tibroviruses have been isolated from biting midges, cattle, and humans. None of the tibroviruses, except for Bas-Congo virus, have been associated with any diseases.

Genus members[edit]

  • Bas-Congo virus (BASV) was discovered in 2009 in the Democratic Republic of Congo in a blood sample collected from a 32-year-old male who survived a severe illness resembling hemorrhagic fever.[4]  BASV could not be isolated from the patient’s sample has not been established as a human pathogen.[5]
  • Beatrice Hill virus (BHV) was isolated from a pool of biting midges (Culicoides peregrinus) in 1984 in Northern Territory, Australia.[6]  BHV is poorly characterized and serological studies to assess its prevalence have not been carried out.
  • Bivens arm virus (BAV) was isolated in 1981-1982 from a pool of biting midges in Florida. Anti-BAV antibodies have been detected in a variety of animals, including cattle, throughout Florida and the Caribbean.[7]  There is no evidence of human infection or any disease associated with BAV.[7]
  • Coastal Plains virus (CPV) was discovered in 1981 in Northern Territory, Australia in the blood of a healthy, asymptomatic steer.[8]  No anti-CPV antibodies have ever been detected in humans and no disease has been associated with CPV.

  • Ekpoma virus 2 (EKV-2) was discovered in 2015 in a blood sample collected from a healthy, 19-year-old woman living in Ekpoma, Nigeria.[9]  EKV-2 was present in her blood at 45,000 RNA copies/mL suggesting modest replication.  Experiments using a recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus expressing the EKV-2 envelope glycoprotein indicate EKV-2 has very broad tropism similar to EKV-1.[10] EKV-2 also could not be isolated from the patient’s blood sample and live replication-competent virus is not available.
