  abstract = {{T}icks are obligate blood-feeding ectoparasites that harbor a wide diversity of microorganisms. {R}hipicephalus sanguineus, the brown dog tick, is globally distributed and poses significant veterinary and public health concerns due to its close association with companion animals and its occasional infestation of humans. {H}owever, the virome of this species in {T}hailand remains poorly characterized. {I}n this study, we employed {DNA} {N}anoball sequencing to investigate the virome of 80 {R}. sanguineus ticks, grouped into five pools, collected from dogs in {C}hachoengsao {P}rovince, {T}hailand, in 2023. {T}hree viruses were identified: {B}rown dog tick phlebovirus 2 ({BDTPV}2), {C}hangping tick virus 2 ({C}p{TV}-2), and {B}ole tick virus 4 ({BLTV}4), all detected in male ticks. {T}hese results highlight the need for further investigation into the ecological roles and biological significance of these viruses. {O}verall, our findings provide an updated perspective on the {R}. sanguineus virome in {T}hailand and underscore the importance of continued surveillance of tick-associated viruses within the {O}ne {H}ealth framework.},
