Evidence of Simultaneous Circulation of West Nile and Usutu Viruses in Mosquitoes Sampled in Emilia-Romagna Region (Italy) in 2009
BACKGROUND In recent years human diseases due to mosquito-borne viruses were increasingly reported in Emilia-Romagna region (Italy), from the chikungunya virus in 2007 to the West Nile virus (WNV) in 2008. An extensive entomological survey was performed in 2009 to establish the presence and distribution of mosquito arboviruses in this region, with particular reference to flaviviruses. METHODO...
متن کاملA Survey on West Nile and Usutu Viruses in Horses and Birds in Poland
West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) are members of the family Flaviviridae which, natural life cycles involve mosquito-bird-mosquito transmission. Both represent emerging viruses in Europe with potential to cause neuroinvasive disease in humans. This study investigates the seroprevalence of serum neutralizing antibodies to WNV and to USUV in birds and in horses in Poland. Antibodies ag...
متن کاملA study of the circulation of West Nile virus , Sindbis virus , Batai virus and Usutu virus in mosquitoes in a
The Dutch national nature reserve “De Oostvaardersplassen” is considered a potential high-risk area for arbovirus circulation in the Netherlands: over 6000 hectares of wetland accommodating a diverse and abundant mosquito population, and a wide variety of wildlife. This wildlife includes migratory birds arriving from arbovirus endemic areas in Africa and Central Europe. Here we have continued a...
متن کاملComparative Usutu and West Nile virus transmission potential by local Culex pipiens mosquitoes in north-western Europe
Originating from Africa, Usutu virus (USUV) first emerged in Europe in 2001. This mosquito-borne flavivirus caused high mortality rates in its bird reservoirs, which strongly resembled the introduction of West Nile virus (WNV) in 1999 in the United States. Mosquitoes infected with USUV incidentally transmit the virus to other vertebrates, including humans, which can result in neuroinvasive dise...
متن کاملSaskatchewan Mosquitoes and West Nile Virus
West Nile virus and wild birds West Nile virus (WN) is a virus of wild birds, transmitted from bird to bird primarily by mosquitoes. Native to southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the virus arrived in North America in 1999 and spread quickly across the continent. Over 225 species of birds have been reported as infected with WN; some of these species, such as members of the crow family, ...
