- Abstract
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) has been reported in many countries in Southeast Asia, which expands the original geographic range of China, Korea, and Japan. Here, we report the complete genome sequences of two Thai SFTSV strains previously identified in patients with undifferentiated febrile illness in 2020. Phylogenetically, both clustered with SFTSV genotype B strains and were most closely related to those previously reported in central China (≥99.0% nucleotide sequence identity) in the L, M, and S gene segments. Nine amino acid residues encoded by one or more Thai SFTSV genomes differed from those found in global strains. Interestingly, the observed differences in numerous residues between the Thai strains suggest possible separate introductions of different variants into the region.
