Bourbon virus (BRBV) is an emerging pathogen that can cause severe and fatal disease in humans. BRBV is vectored by Amblyomma americanum (lone star ticks), which are widely distributed across the central, southern, and eastern United States. This dataset describes wild animal species captured in two locations close to St. Louis Metro area and their corresponding BRBV neutralizing activity in serum illustrated by IC50 and IC90 values and their capture sites.
