National Wild Mites Collecting Command & # 39; … SFTS Transfer Policy Policy Logs

Currently, only the SFTS mediator has confirmed the presence of small ticks … "Test results must be disclosed"

The arrest of a hairy mite causing an epidemic of disease, an autumnal disease, was published. When the transfer potential of "severe febrile thrombocytopenia" (SFTS), which has a high rate of fatal ticks, was raised, anti-prosecution authorities actively responded.
The CDC said it has confirmed its plan to identify if domestic ticks have SFTS viruses and if they are wearing them to humans.

According to the results of a genetic test on a grandmother (75) diagnosed with an SFTS infection in October last year, the first report of the first national report that it was co- infected with Tsutsugamushi's disease, Lee Geun-hwa, a professor at the medical school of Jeju University, suspects that a flea tick could be at the origin of both diseases infectious because the victim's body does not find traces of teeth infecting the SFTS.

Petticoat plans to collect fleas from all over the country from October to November, when ticks will begin their activities, and will carry out genetic testing for the SFTS virus. If this test shows that the SFTS virus is detected in flea ticks, it is likely to be referred to as a mite that causes SFTS in addition to a small tick mite.

When a person asks for a hair tick, Orientia tsutsugamushi & # 39; which is the intracellular parasitic bacterium (Orientia tsutsugamushi) is transferred to cause the disease. Symptoms such as high fever, headaches and an irregular rash are similar to those of SFTS. The mortality rate is very low, around 0.1-0.2%. It is characterized by the appearance of a "crust" in the tick bite.

SFTS, on the other hand, has been known to infect viruses only when bitten by a small mite, a kind of wild mite.

The headquarters of the disease management explains that there are usually bite marks on ticks, but there are cases where marks are weak or missing. The mortality rate is above 20%, much more deadly than the disease.

In Korea, a document on the identification of the SFTS gene in a fowl tick responsible for ssutsugamushi disease comes from China.
According to the mediation badysis and director of the disease management headquarters, Cho Shin-hyung said, "If the mite other than the small mite intervenes in the SFTS, it is very important in terms prevention of infections and secondary infections. As soon as it comes out, we will go through a special meeting to inform people of the risks. "
