Baseline mapping of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virology, epidemiology and vaccine research and development

Abstract Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is a newly emergent tick-borne bunyavirus first discovered in 2009 in China. SFTSV is a growing public health problem that may become more prominent owing to multiple competent tick-vectors and the expansion of human populations in a...
