We detected Heartland virus (HRTV) in lone star nymphs collected in 2018 in northern Alabama, USA. Real-time reverse transcription PCR selective for the small segment of the HRTV genome and confirmatory sequencing of positive samples showed high identity with HRTV strains sequenced from Tennessee and Missouri.
我们在美国阿拉巴马州北部 2018 年采集的孤星若虫中检测到了中心地带病毒(HRTV)。针对 HRTV 基因组小片段的实时逆转录 PCR 具有选择性,对阳性样本进行测序确认后显示与田纳西州和密苏里州测序的 HRTV 株具有高度同源性。
