Clinical manifestations, TEM analysis, and immunofluorescence assay findings in outbreak of natural severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) infection in farmed minks, China. A–C) Clinical manifestations were death (A), loose stools (B), and enlargement and hyperemia of the mesenteric lymph nodes (C). D) Virus detection by TEM analysis showed typical enveloped virions (arrows). Scale bar indicates 200 nm. E, F) Immunofluorescent pictures of Vero cells infected with SFTSV SD01/China/2022 isolate. Differences between the blank control (E) and green fluorescence (F) indicates SFTSV particles in the monolayer of Vero cells. Scale bars in panels E and F indicate 75 μm.
