Orthonairovirus is a genus of viruses in the family Nairoviridae, order Bunyavirales, with segmented circular RNA genome. They typically infect birds and mammals are primarily transmitted by ectoparasites such as ticks. Four nine genogroups can humans, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus infections displaying case fatality rates up to 40%. Here, we discover describe novel Cencurut (CENV). CENV was detected 34 37 Asian house shrews (Suncus murinus) sampled Singapore nymphal Amblyomma...

Background: Micro-aspiration is a significant risk factor for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in critically ill patients. Recent guidelines have increasingly recommended micro-aspiration prevention strategies; however, the practical application and guidance value of these recommendations still require further evaluation. This study aims to analyze “micro-aspiration prevention” concept control VAP Methods: We conducted randomized controlled trial involving 94 patients at our hospital...

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is emerging in China and the incidence increased year by year. In this study, we conducted case control study to explore factors associated SFTS virus (SFTSV) infection fatal outcome. of SFTSV infection, a total 216 individuals participated including 72 cases 144 matched controls. There were significant differences proportion history tick bite breeding domestic animals between Of note, who unclear whether they had been bitten ticks highest...

Metal exposure has been reported to be associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS), however, the evidence remains inconclusive, particularly in elderly individuals. From May July 2016, serum levels of 16 metals were measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) 852 individuals (≥65 years) residing Wuhan, China. Biological detection and disease recognition based on individual surveys conducted during health check-ups. Spearman's rank correlation analysis was performed...

Introduction Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease, and the number of cases has increased in recent years Zhejiang Province, China. However, whether seasonal distribution, geographic demographic characteristics SFTS have changed increase incidence was unclear. Materials Methods Data on Province tick density Daishan County from 2011 to 2019 were collected. The changing epidemiological including geographical features analyzed using descriptive...

Abstract Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) and severe thrombocytopenia (SFTS) are both endemic in rural areas some characteristics similar between HFRS SFTS, which usually lead to misdiagnosis. In this study, we summarized compared of SFTS will provide scientific information for differential diagnosis. From 2011 2022, a total 4336 cases 737 were reported Zhejiang Province. Compared there was higher proportion males among (72.46% [3142/4336] vs. 50.88% [375/737], p = 0.000). The...

We collected 2460 Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks from vegetation in Jiaonan County, Shandong Province, June of 2013 and Daishan Zhejiang China, May 2015. The tick DNA was subsequently amplified with nested polymerase chain reaction using Ehrlichia common 16S rRNA gene primers ewingii species-specific groEL gltA primers. found 0.4% (3/780) the Province contained that different all known species, but most closely related to E. ewingii. concluded a novel species exists H.

Background Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is a rodent-borne disease caused by hantavirus which was endemic Zhejiang Province, China. In this study, we aim to explore the changing epidemiology of HFRS in Zhejiang, identify high-risk areas and populations, evaluate relevant policies interventions better improve control prevention. Methods Surveillance data on during 1963–2020 Province were extracted from Provincial Center for Disease Control Prevention archives Chinese Notifiable...

Abstract Background Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) is endemic in Zhejiang Province, China, while few studies have concentrated on the influence of meteorological factors HFRS incidence area. Methods Data and from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2020 Taizhou City, Province were collected. Multivariate analysis was conducted relationship between including minimum temperatures, relative humidity, cumulative rainfall HFRS. Results The peaked November it negatively correlated...

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease in China and case-fatality rate of SFTS very high (approximately 10%). However, genetic susceptibility for virus (SFTSV) infection fatal outcome SFTSV humans are unclear. In this study, we investigated the clinical, laboratory epidemiological features a cluster three sisters who died between late April mid-May 2014. Before onset, two (Case A case B) had common exposure history ticks by working together field...

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease worldwide. It can be transmitted from person to person, and the fatality rate very high. During this study, three SFTS clusters including 12 associated cases were identified in counties Zhejiang Province 2018 2020. The median age of index patients was 70 years, that secondary case 59 years. Of note, mortality 100%. 11%. total attack (SAR) 30% (9/30). SARs cluster A, B, C 38% (3/8), 21% (3/14), respectively....

The advancement metagenomic approaches has encouraged multiple reports of detection following initial species discovery, enriching diversity and host range genus. However, remains understudied Singapore, where interfaces between humans small mammals are plentiful.Here, we utilized sequencing for exploration viral mammal tissues. Upon discovery Jeilongvirus, molecular screening full genome conducted, with data used...
