This study reports the etiological identification, clinical diagnosis, and the results of the local epidemiological surveillance of the first case of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) infection in 2014 in Hunan Province, China. The infected patient was isolated and closely monitored. The virus is a member of the Bunyaviridae sandfly family and is characterized by real-time PCR, electron microscopy, immunofluorescence, and whole-genome sequencing. We also detected IgG and IgM antibodies against SFTSV among the local human population and domestic animals in a serological surveillance. Prevalence of SFTSV-specific antibodies was monitored in the local population for two years after the identification of the first SFTS case. Approximately 5% (4/77) of the people who had direct contact with the patient were seropositive, which is significantly higher than the seropositivity of the general local population [1.57% (44/2800), P < 0.05]. Furthermore, the percentage of the general population who were seropositive was higher in 2015 than in 2014 (χ2 = 7.481, P = 0.006). The epidemiological investigation found that the SFTSV is epidemic in goats, cattle, and chickens in Hunan Province. The risk of infection of domestic animals can be minimized by feeding in pens rather than allowing foraging.
Objective To make etiological diagnosis and evaluate the protective effects of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) in an event of one dog injured seven persons.Methods Direct immunofluorescence assay (DFA) and nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were employed to detect nucleoprotein and nucleoprotein(N) gene of rabies virus in the brain tissues of the dog,the positive samples were sequenced for the full length of N gene of rabies virus,then the homology of the N gene of rabies virus was analyzed after the phylogenetic tree was constructed.Rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test (RFFIT) was applied to detect the rabies virus neutralizing antibodies (RVNA) on day 0,14 and 40 after PEP.Results The cerebral,cerebellar and hippocampal tissues were positive by DFA and nested PCR.The phylogenetic tree indicated the rabies virus belonged to the rabies virus genotype I.The homology of the nucleotide and amino acid of the rabies virus N gene were over 86% with the vaccine strains.The titer of the RVNA increased significantly from the day 0 to day 14 after PEP,the lowest was 5.78 IU/ml and the highest was 26.15 IU/ml.On the day 40,the highest RVNA titer was 51.96 IU/ml.No rabies cases occurred in a one year follow-up visit.Conclusions Normative PEP can effectively prevent the occurrence of rabies cases.
