To evaluate the extent of circulation of both viruses, environmental surveillance, based on bird and mosquito testing, was conducted in 2008 and gradually improved over the years. METHODS In February-March 2009-2011, 5,993 hibernating mosquitoes were manually sampled, out ...
متن کاملPutative 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...
متن کاملUsutu virus: potential risk of human disease in Europe.
Usutu virus (USUV) is an African mosquito-borne flavivirus, member of the Japanese encephalitis antigenic group. This avian virus is transmitted by arthropod vectors (mainly mosquitoes of the Culex pipiens complex). It is well known that free-living birds, including migratory species, have the potential to disperse certain pathogenic microorganisms. Usutu virus has recently been introduced to E...
متن کاملDetection of Usutu virus within a West Nile virus surveillance program in Northern Italy.
Usutu virus (USUV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus belonging to the Japanese encephalitis serocomplex, recently related to neurological disease in immunosuppressed patients. In the same area of Northern Italy where USUV human cases occurred in 2009, a regional West Nile virus (WNV) surveillance program based on mosquito monitoring and wild birds screening has been implemented since 2008.
