Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) causes lethal hemorrhagic diseases in human, cats, and dogs. Several human cases involving direct transmission of SFTSV from diseased animals have been reported. Therefore, rapid diagnosis in veterinary clinics is important for preventing ani...
