  • Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV), an emerging pathogen, is a tick-borne bunyavirus belonging to the genus Bandavirus in the family Phenuiviridae (Kuhn et al. 2020). This pathogen was first identified in China during the heightened surveillance of acute febrile illness in 2009, and has been reported to cause several outbreaks in eastern Asia areas, including China, Japan, and Korea (Yu et al. 2011). Besides, Vietnam has also reported several confirmed SFTS cases (Tran et al. 2019). The mortality rate in hospitalised patients with SFTSV infection is up to 10%–30%. Moreover, SFTSV has been reported to possibly transmitted by the contact of body fluids from person-to-person, and extensive SFTSV contamination was detected in the patient rooms (Kim et al. 2015). These reports suggest that more stringent isolation measures are needed for the prevention of massive SFTSV outbreak.

    Abstract: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV), an emerging pathogen, is a tick-borne bunyavirus belonging to the genus Bandavirus in the family Phenuiviridae (Kuhn et al. 2020). This pathogen was first identified in China during the heightened surveillance of acute febrile illness in 2009, and has been reported to cause several outbreaks in eastern Asia areas, including China, Japan, and Korea (Yu et al. 2011). Besides, Vietnam has also reported several confirmed SFTS cases (Tran et al. 2019). The mortality rate in hospitalised patients with SFTSV infection is up to 10%–30%. Moreover, SFTSV has been reported to possibly transmitted by the contact of body fluids from person-to-person, and extensive SFTSV contamination was detected in the patient rooms (Kim et al. 2015). These reports suggest that more stringent isolation measures are needed for the prevention of massive SFTSV outbreak.
