West Nile Virus Lineage 2 from Blood Donor, Greece
To the Editor: West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne fl avivirus that primarily causes an asymptomatic or mild disease in humans; however, in <1% of infected persons, it causes neurologic disease. The virus has received increased attention since 2002 when it was established that WNV is transmissible by blood transfusion and organ transplantation (1). A major WNV outbreak occurred in 2010 in...
متن کاملWest Nile Virus Lineage 2 Strain in Greece, 2012
The low diversity we found could be explained by a recent introduction of the bacteria into the area [although A. phagocytophilum–seropositive horses have been found in the area since 2001 (3)] or by a selective sweep linked to the particular ticks and host reservoir in Camargue. The 5 species of ticks that we found positive for A. phagocytophilum have been described as potential vectors of A. ...
متن کاملGenetic Characterization of West Nile Virus Lineage 2, Greece, 2010
We conducted a complete genome analysis of a West Nile virus detected in Culex pipiens mosquitoes during a severe outbreak of human West Nile disease in Greece 2010. The virus showed closest genetic relationship to the lineage 2 strain that emerged in Hungary in 2004; increased virulence may be associated with amino acid substitution H249P.
متن کاملSerum neutralising antibody response of seronegative horses against lineage 1 and lineage 2 West Nile virus following vaccination with an inactivated lineage 1 West Nile virus vaccine.
Lineage 2 West Nile virus (WNV) strains are endemic in South Africa and cause severe neurological disease in horses. An inactivated lineage 1 vaccine, Duvaxyn WNV, protects mice against challenge with a neuroinvasive South African lineage 2 strain of WNV. To evaluate the potential of Duvaxyn WNV to protect horses against lineage 2 strains of WNV, serum neutralising antibody responses of horses ...
متن کاملPutative New Lineage of West Nile Virus, Spain
To ascertain the presence of West Nile virus (WNV), we sampled mosquitoes in 2006 in locations in southern Spain where humans had been infected. WNV genomic RNA was detected in 1 pool from unfed female Culex pipiens mosquitoes. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that this sequence cannot be assigned to previously described lineages of WNV.
