Description

<p>In this study, we collected ticks from wild boars and vegetation to survey a prevalence of Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) in tick population from Ito campus of Kyushu University (Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan) and its allied region. Ixodid ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) were collected from wild boar and vegetation at Ito campus, and were screened by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) for detection of SFTSV. Five ixodid species were collected and identified in this survey. Haemaphysalis flava Neumann was the dominant species in this area. The RT-PCR results showed that all 152 pools of tick samples, included 12 pooled tick samples from two wild boars tested positive for antibodies to SFTSV, were negative for SFTSV.</p>
