Discovery of Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Bunyavirus Strains Originating from Intragenic Recombination

Abstract excerpt

This study analyzes available severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) genomes and reports that a sublineage of lineage I bears a unique M segment recombined from two of three prevailing SFTSV lineages. Through recombination, the sublineage has acquired nearly complete G1 associated with protective epitopes from lineage III, suggesting that this recombination has the capacity to induce antigenic...
