| description | The distribution of ticks and severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) pathogens were investigated by collecting ticks from March to November 2018 in four environments (grass fields, copses, mountain roads, and tombs) in Jeju. Three thousand and ninety ticks were collected using a tick trap, and 1,569 ticks were collected using the flagging method. Of the 4,659 ticks collected, Haemaphysalis longicornis and Haemaphysalis flava accounted for 4,440 ticks (95.2%) and 219 ticks (4.7%), respectively. Nine hundred and fifty, 883, 847, and 410 ticks were collected from grass fields, copses, mountain roads, and tombs, respectively, using tick traps, whereas 704, 472, 197, and 196 ticks were collected from copses, mountain roads, tombs, and grass fields, respectively, using the flagging method. The largest fraction of ticks (2,978) was collected from April to August, and most were collected in May and June. Adult ticks comprised 94 percent of the total ticks from June to August. SFTSV was not detected in the 4,440 H. longicornis ticks or the 219 H. flava ticks collected in this study. |
