Human‐to‐Human Transmission of Severe Fever With Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Resulting in Fatal Cases: A Case Series

Case Reports in Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), primarily a tick‐borne disease, can also cause fatal human‐to‐human transmission. This report analyzes a cluster of six SFTS cases identified in China in 2022, involving one index patient and five secondary infections, with an overall mortality of 83%.

Phlebovirus seroprevalence in Austrian Army personnel returning from missions abroad

Parasites & Vectors, 2019
Background Phleboviruses are mainly transmitted by sand flies and infections can result in various symptoms, including meningitis and meningoencephalitis. In endemic regions, seroprevalences in humans and animals are high.

Molecular Characterization of Rift Valley Fever Virus From the 2025 Outbreak in Northern Senegal Reveals Lineage H Persistence and Key Polymerase Mutations

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) is a mosquito‐borne phlebovirus that causes severe febrile and hemorrhagic illness in humans. In September 2025, an outbreak in northern Senegal led to 119 confirmed infections and 15 deaths as of October 7, 2025. We performed rapid genomic sequencing to characterize the virus responsible for this epidemic.

Tick‐Borne Viruses in Finland: Public Health Risks, Interventions and Research Insights

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 6, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Ticks are obligate haematophagous arthropods that serve as vectors for diverse pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and protozoa. In Finland, the two primary tick species, Ixodes ricinus (castor bean tick) and Ixodes persulcatus (taiga tick), have been identified in the transmission of tick‐borne viruses (TBV), notably tick‐borne ...

Granada Virus: a Natural Phlebovirus Reassortant of the Sandfly Fever Naples Serocomplex with Low Seroprevalence in Humans

, 2010
A new member of the phlebovirus genus, tentatively named Granada virus, was detected in sandflies collected in Spain. By showing the presence of specific neutralizing antibodies in human serum collected in Granada, we show that Granada virus infects ...

A Pyrido‐Quinoxaline Derivative That Downregulates Reticulon 3 Protein Exhibits Potent Antiviral Activity Against Zika Virus

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 97, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT In the wake of the COVID‐19 pandemic, awareness of emerging pathogens has significantly increased, prompting greater investment in research and preparedness. In this context, arboviral diseases are recognized as unmet medical challenges due to their rapid spread. Notably, the geographical range of several flaviviral diseases is expanding: Zika
