Two veterinary personnel in Japan were infected with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) while handling a sick cat. Whole-genome sequences of SFTSV isolated from the personnel and the cat were 100% identical. These results identified a nosocomial outbreak of SFTSV infection in an animal hospital without a tick as a vector.
两名在日本的兽医人员在处理一只患病的猫时感染了严重发热伴血小板减少综合征病毒(SFTSV)。从人员和猫身上分离出的 SFTSV 的全基因组序列完全相同。这些结果表明,在没有蜱作为媒介的动物医院发生了一起 SFTSV 感染的医院感染暴发。
