    "abstract": "Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) presents an emerging public threat due to its high mortality rate and ever-expanding geographic distribution. However, characterization of SFTSV infection pathogenesis and immunological impact at single-cell level remains underexplored. Here, we employ single-cell transcriptome-wide sequencing in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from hospitalized SFTSV-infected patients to map the immune landscape across acute and convalescent stages of infection. The results reveal significant alterations in immune cell compositions, along with profound disruption in intercellular crosstalk. B cells and neutrophils appear to be the primary target for SFTSV infection besides monocytes, as evidenced by heightened virus-related pathways in these two cell types during the acute phase. In addition, SFTSV infection induces a substantial inflammatory response, which were prominently reflected in monocytes and neutrophils. These data illustrate the complex immune remodeling and inflammatory cascades triggered by SFTSV, with a particular focus on its effects on B cells and neutrophils, bringing novel insights into future therapeutic developments.",
