Recent Advances in Humoral Immunity Dysregulation in Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus (SFTSV) Infection: A Systematic Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) infection causes profound dysregulation of humoral immunity, leading to immunopathology and impaired viral clearance. However, the mechanisms underlying B cell dysfunction and inadequate antibody responses remain poorly defined.

Multiple Introductions of the Asian Longhorned Tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) to the United States Revealed Using Mitogenomics

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
The Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis, is a significant global vector and threat to both agriculture and public health. Formerly known only in the Eastern Hemisphere, parthenogenetic ALT have been reported from 20 states across the eastern and central US, with a pattern of expansion suggestive of multiple distinct populations.

Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index Plays Important Role in Predicting In‐Hospital Mortality in Patients With Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome: A Multi‐Center Observational Study

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) has been proposed as a reliable indicator of nutritional state and, when decreased, is closely associated with the severity and mortality risk of infectious disease. The current study retrospectively recruited patients who were admitted for SFTS from January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2024 at six medical ...

Ticks From Mink and Their Associated Microorganisms in Spain

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Wildlife is an important source of emerging zoonotic agents, including tick‐borne ones. Wild carnivores such as mink are commonly parasitized by ticks, which are vectors and reservoirs of zoonotic diseases. Besides the importance of these arthropods as potential sources of diseases in mink, and the role of these mammals as reservoirs of infectious ...

Establishment of an Early Prediction Model for Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome‐Associated Encephalitis

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease primarily transmitted by ticks. The development of encephalitis in SFTS patients significantly increases the risk of adverse outcomes. However, the understanding of SFTS‐associated encephalitis (SFTSAE) is still limited. This study aimed to identify

Ultra-rapid detection of nuclear protein of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus by colloidal gold immunochromatography assay [PDF]

PeerJ
In 2009, severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV), also known as the Dabie bandavirus (DBV), was first discovered in Henan, China. It is a tick-borne zoonotic virus with a fatality rate ranging from 6% to 30%. Currently, we lack safe and

Early prognosis biomarkers of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome

iLABMED, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 341-351, December 2024.
SFTSV interacts with the host's immune defenses, prompting the engagement of both innate and adaptive immune responses by effector cells. This interaction ultimately results in the activation and proliferation of relevant cytokines. Abstract Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease that results from SFTS ...
