Abstract
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS), a tickborne viral disease, has been identified in China, South Korea, and Japan since 2009. We found retrospective evidence of SFTS virus (SFTSV) infection in Vietnam, which suggests that SFTSV infections also occur in Vietnam, where the virus has not been known to be endemic.

SFTS; SFTSV; Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus; Vietnam; phleboviruses; severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome; ticks; vector-borne infections; viruses.
