A rationally designed cocktail of nanobodies elicited by heterologous vaccination confers protection against SFTSV in preclinical models Epitope-diverse nanobody cocktails neutralize severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus and prevent lethal infection in animals.

Researchers in #ScienceTranslationalMedicine have designed a cocktail of camelid nanobodies that protects mice and ferrets from severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (#SFTSV), an emerging and deadly tick-borne virus. https://scim.ag/3X7EZGJ

Scientists uncover how ticks fight off and carry a virus deadly to humans The study, published in Nature Communications, provides the most detailed picture yet of how cells from the tick species Rhipicephalus microplus respond to infection with severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV).SFTSV can cause high fever, internal bleeding and death in humans and currently has no licensed treatment or vaccine.
