TL;DR: This article describes the first identified patient with SFTS and a retrospective study on SFTS in Japan, which indicated that all of the Japanese SFTSV isolates formed a genotype independent to those from China.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the replicative ability and pathogenicity of authentic infectious BA.2 isolates in immunocompetent and human ACE2-expressing mice and hamsters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of Pathogenic Coronaviruses in Cats by Homologous Recombination between Feline and Canine Coronaviruses
Yutaka Terada,Nobutaka Matsui,Keita Noguchi,Ryusei Kuwata,Hiroshi Shimoda,Takehisa Soma,Masami Mochizuki,Ken Maeda +7 more
TL;DR: Observations suggest that type II FCoV emerged inside the cat body and is unable to readily spread among cats, indicating that these recombination events for emergence of pathogenic coronaviruses occur frequently.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The analyses of the viral copy number level in the patient blood samples at the acute phase determined by qPCR in association with the patient outcome confirmed that the SFTSV RNA load in the blood of the nonsurviving patients was significantly higher than that of the surviving patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Two clades of SFTSV may have evolved separately over time, and on rare occasions, the viruses were transmitted overseas to the region in which viruses of the other clade were prevalent.
