Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging tick-borne infectious disease that is endemic to China, Japan, and the Republic of Korea (ROK). In this study, 8313 ticks collected from SFTS outbreak areas in the ROK in 2013 were used to detect the SFTS virus (SFTSV). A single SFTSV was isolated in cell culture from one pool of Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks collected from Samcheok-si, Gangwon Province, in the ROK. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the SFTSV isolate was clustered with the SFTSV strain from Japan, which was isolated from humans. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first isolation in the world of SFTSV in ticks collected from vegetation.
严重发热伴血小板减少综合征（SFTS）是一种新出现的蜱传传染病，在中国、日本和大韩民国（韩国）流行。在本研究中，2013年从韩国SFTS疫情爆发地区采集的8313只蜱用于检测SFTS病毒（SFTSV）。从韩国江原道三陟市采集的一组长角血蜱中，在细胞培养物中分离出一株单一的SFTSV。系统发育分析表明，该SFTSV分离株与从日本人类分离出的SFTSV毒株聚类。据我们所知，这是世界上首次从植被采集的蜱中分离出SFTSV。
