Understanding local vector ecology requires long-term monitoring, particularly in regions where human cases occur but viral prevalence in questing ticks remains unclear.

Pooled samples were constructed within each stratum, with up to 50 larvae, 30 nymphs, or 5 sex-separated adults per pool. In total,\u00a036,478 ticks\u00a0were assembled into\u00a03106 pools\u00a0and screened for SFTSV by nested reverse transcription (RT)-PCR.
