Abstract

Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) are caused by two distinct bunyaviruses and show some common characteristics. In this chapter, the author compares characteristics of the two diseases/viruses, hoping that the comparison will merit understanding of the viruses and developing of countermeasures against the diseases.
