Group:	Group III (dsRNA)
Order:	Unassigned
Family:	Reoviridae
Subfamily:	Spinareovirinae
Genus:	Coltivirus
Species:	Eyach virus

Eyach virus (EYAV) is a viral infection (genus Coltivirus) in the Reoviridae family transmitted by a tick vector. It has been isolated from Ixodes ricinus and I. ventalloi ticks in Europe.[1] It is closely related to Colorado tick fever virus, the type virus of Coltivirus.

Transmission and clinical syndromes

Eyach virus is acquired by tick bite. The tick gets infected after a blood meal from a vertebrate host, which is suspected to be the European rabbit O. cunniculus.[2] Eyach virus has been linked to tick-borne encephalitis, as well as polyradiculoneuritis and meningopolyneuritis, based on serological samples of patients with these neurological disorders.

gollark: Unfortunately, it is not the default on Windows.

gollark: Like a correct person, I just use full-disk encryption on Linux.

gollark: If you have physical access to *my* things you can't read any data off, although an "evil maid attack" where you swap out the unencrypted boot stuff for versions which log the password is possible.

gollark: Phones and maybe recent MacOS devices have full-disk encryption, so not really.
