  abstract = {{S}evere fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus ({SFTSV}) is an emerging tick-borne virus with a mortality rate of up to 30%. {F}irst identified in {C}hina in 2009, it was later reported in other {A}sian countries, including {T}hailand in 2020. {SFTSV} has been detected in several tick species, including {R}hipicephalus sanguineus, known for infesting dogs. {W}e conducted a seroprevalence study of {SFTSV} in {B}angkok and {N}ong {K}hai, {T}hailand, by analyzing 1162 human samples collected between 2019 and 2023. {T}he testing method relied on {I}g{G} detection using {ELISA} and confirmed though a virus seroneutralization test. {T}he results indicated that out of the participants, 12 (1.1%) tested positive for anti-{SFTSV} {I}g{G} antibodies; however, none exhibited positive results in the seroneutralization assay. {A}dditionally, molecular detection of {SFTSV}, {C}rimean-{C}ongo hemorrhagic fever ({CCHF}), {C}oxiella spp., {B}artonella spp., and {R}ickettsia spp. was performed on 433 {R}h. sanguineus ticks collected from 49 dogs in 2023 in {C}hachoengsao {P}rovince, {T}hailand. {N}o evidence of these pathogens was found in ticks. {T}hese findings highlight the importance of exploring viral cross-reactivity. {F}urthermore, it is important to conduct additional studies to isolate {SFTSV} from animals and ticks in order to identify the potential transmission routes contributing to human and animal infections in {T}hailand.},
