It has been well-established that reduced T-cell recognition and proliferation, as well as immunosuppression more generally, contribute to VZV reactivation. It has also been discovered that seasonal variation, which is linked to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), correlates with increased HZ cases. This correlation may be explained by the direct immunosuppressant effects of UVR, with melanin offering photoprotective effects that decrease reactivation rates. However, an underexplored aspect of this correlation is the potential role of the skin microbiome in UVR-induced VZV reactivation. Vital for skin homeostasis and immune modulation, the skin microbiome has been found to influence various skin conditions. Preliminary evidence suggests that microbiome diversity may influence VZV reactivation rates, supported by antibiotic-induced effects on HZ incidence. Research also indicates the microbiome's modulating effect on UVR-induced immune suppression, emphasizing its potential significance in VZV reactivation.

Notable viruses in this group include the tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV), Heartland virus (HRTV), and Powassan virus (POWV). This review evaluates their geographic spread, clinical effects, diagnostic challenges, treatment options, and research gaps. These viruses are increasingly spreading due to climate change and shifting tick habitats. The TBEV is moving into new areas of Europe and Asia, while the CCHFV is advancing into the Balkans and Caucasus. The HRTV has become more common in the United States, and the POWV is emerging in new regions of North America. Symptoms can vary from mild fever to severe neurological and hemorrhagic conditions. Diagnostic difficulties stem from inconsistent test accuracy, and treatment options are scarce, with only a few vaccines available. Tick-borne viruses represent a significant and expanding health threat, given their diverse clinical outcomes and diagnostic difficulties. Developing more accurate and accessible diagnostic tools is critical for early identification and treatment. Additionally, creating effective vaccines will be essential to reducing the overall burden of these viruses.
