Abstract

Objective Survey on ticks and host animals of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) in Huanggang, Hubei province, to provide basic data for the control and prevention of this vector-borne disease. Methods Ticks and animal serum samples were collected from affected areas from April to June in 2013, and SFTSV were detected by Real-time PCR. Results A total of 256 ticks were collected from grassland and livestock, after classification and identification, these collected ticks mostly were classified to 4 species, 4 genus, 1 family, Haemaphysalis longicornis was predominant species. The results of Real-time PCR of ticks, cattle and sheep serum samples showed that infection rates were 3.13%(8/256), 17.65% (3/17), and 12.50% (1/8), respectively. Conclusion Haemaphysalis longicornis was predominant species in Huanggang, the results of Real-time PCR indicated that the SFTS may transmitted by “host animals-to-ticks-to-human”, avoid tick biting is the key to prevent this disease.
