Abstract excerpt
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), caused by Dabie bandavirus (SFTS virus, SFTSV), poses a growing public health concern in East Asia. Limited genomic data from Shandong Province have restricted understanding of viral evolution, while codon usage bias, a key factor in viral fitness and host adaptation, remains uncharacterized. In this study, we analyzed codon usage patterns in SFTSV strains from...
