Title Transmission of Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus to Human from Nonindigenous Tick Host, Japan.
Journal Emerg Infect Dis
Abstract We report a human case of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus infection transmitted by a tick, confirmed by viral identification. Haemaphysalis aborensis, a tick species not native to Japan that has been observed to transmit the virus to humans, is now recognized as a potential vector of this virus in Japan.
