Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), caused by Dabie bandavirus (SFTSV), exhibits geographically decoupled incidence and fatality patterns across East Asia. We aimed to elucidate the distinct ecological drivers and phylogeographic dynamics underlying this inland-coastal epidemiological divergence. METHODS: Integrating 1820 high-quality global genomes of SFTSV with well-characterized...
