Outline of Final Research Achievements

The risk of emerging virus infection as a zoonotic infection was evaluated in Japan. SFTSV was infected before 2005, so that SFTS, a first human case identified in Japan in 2013 was existed as unknown febrile illness. Bhanja virus, which is relatively related to SFTSV, was considered to be not immersed in the domestic virus yet in Japan. We found SFTS and Bhanja virus were serologically cross-reacted very little if any. The risk of Bhanja virus is considered to be very low in Japan. Domestic Oita virus and Fukuoka virus were differed genetically from Bas Congo virus by phylogenetic analysis and they did not cross-reacted each other serologically.
