Since its discovery in 2009, the tickborne Heartland virus (HRTV) has caused human illness in Missouri, Oklahoma, and Tennessee USA. To better assess the geographic distribution of HRTV, we used wildlife serology as an indicator. This retrospective evaluation determined that HRTV is widespread within the central and eastern United States.
自2009年被发现以来,蜱传的心脏地带病毒(HRTV)已在美国密苏里州、俄克拉何马州和田纳西州引发人类疾病。为了更好地评估HRTV的地理分布,我们将野生动物血清学作为一项指标。这项回顾性评估确定HRTV在美国中部和东部广泛存在。
