Incrimination of shrews as a reservoir for Powassan virus

Goethert and colleagues use a host-specific retrotransposon targeted real time PCR assay on questing nymphal ticks to identify a reservoir for Powassan virus lineage 2 (or deer tick virus). Infected ticks were found to have preferentially fed on shrews, as opposed to white-footed mice as was expecte...
