The first discovery of SFTSV in the Centre of Metropolitan Beijing, China
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia virus (SFTSV), an emerging tick-borne bandavirus, poses a significant public health threat in rural China. Since 2021, an increase in local cases has been noted in the rural-urban fringe surrounding Beijing. This study aimed to assess the formation of natural foci in urban areas by conducting a field survey of ticks and hedgehogs from Beijing's second to fifth ring roads. Our survey revealed a diverse tick population in city parks, including the major SFTSV vector, H. longicornis. Parthenogenetic H. longicornis, known for its role in rapid SFTSV spread, was identified in key locations like Beihai Park and Taoranting Park, near the Forbidden City. Notably, high SFTSV seroprevalence and RNA prevalence were found in hedgehogs and parasitic ticks in the center of Beijing. These findings highlight the circulation of SFTSV in central Beijing, underscoring the need for urgent attention and enhanced surveillance measures..
