USUTU VIRUS, ANOTHER EMERGING MOSQUITO-BORNE PATHOGEN IN CENTRAL EUROPE

نویسندگان

چکیده

Usutu virus (USUV) je emergentní patogen přenášený komáry, taxonomicky náleží do rodu Flavivirus čeledi Flaviviridae. Tento původně africký arbovirus v roce 2001 způsobil hromadné hynutí ptactva okolí Vídně a poté se rozšířil prakticky po celé střední, jižní západní Evropě. USUV primárně patogenní pro některé druhy pěvců, především kosy černé (Turdus merula), avšak patogenita byla prokázána i u řady jiných druhů, zejména z řádů dravců sov. V posledních letech přibývá případů infekce člověka. Cílem práce podat ucelené informace o taxonomii viru, jeho genomu, životním cyklu včetně komářích vektorů a obratlovčích rezervoárů, endemickém výskytu Africe následném expanzivním šíření Evropě, surveillanci jednotlivých evropských státech, patogenitě viru obratlovce popisu onemocnění, jež způsobuje, laboratorní diagnostice dostupné léčbě.

Usutu Virus: An Emerging Flavivirus in Europe

Usutu virus (USUV) is an African mosquito-borne flavivirus belonging to the Japanese encephalitis virus serocomplex. USUV is closely related to Murray Valley encephalitis virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and West Nile virus. USUV was discovered in South Africa in 1959. In Europe, the first true demonstration of circulation of USUV was reported in Austria in 2001 with a significant die-off of...

Emergence of Usutu virus, an African Mosquito-Borne Flavivirus of the Japanese Encephalitis Virus Group, Central Europe

During late summer 2001 in Austria, a series of deaths in several species of birds occurred, similar to the beginning of the West Nile virus (WNV) epidemic in the United States. We necropsied the dead birds and examined them by various methods; pathologic and immunohistologic investigations suggested a WNV infection. Subsequently, the virus was isolated, identified, partially sequenced, and sub...

Putative Lineage of Novel African Usutu Virus, Central Europe

[Sarah Gregory] The authors characterize the complete genome of the putative novel Usutu virus strain Usutu-BONN detected in a dead black bird from Germany. Genomic analysis revealed several unique amino acid substitutions among the polyprotein gene. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that Usutu bond constitutes a putative novel African Usutu virus lineage, which was probably, recently, introdu...

Putative Lineage of Novel African Usutu Virus, Central Europe

We characterized the complete genome of a putative novel Usutu virus (USUV) strain (Usutu-BONN) detected in a dead blackbird from Germany. Genomic analysis revealed several unique amino acid substitutions among the polyprotein gene. Phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that Usutu-BONN constitutes a putative novel African USUV lineage, which was probably recently introduced to central Europe.

The mosquito-borne infections of Europe

The number of endemic mosquito-borne infections in -Europe is substantial; some, such as West Nile virus give rise to periodic epidemic outbreaks while others cause only sporadic clinical cases of disease. Overall, there is a rising trend in the number of infections, especially of the arboviruses. Malaria which had been eradicated in Europe by 1975 following the initiation of the WHO eradicatio...
