Subcellular localization of nucleocapsid protein of SFTSV and its assembly into the ribonucleoprotein complex with L protein and viral RNA
Abstract Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) is an emerging bunyavirus that causes novel zoonotic diseases in Asian countries including China, Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam. In phleboviruses, viral proteins play a critical role in viral particle formation inside the host cell...
