Abstract

Usutu virus is a zoonotic arbovirus that causes massive mortality in blackbirds. Using a unique longitudinal dataset on the kinetics of virus-specific antibodies in naturally infected wild blackbirds (Turdus merula), we found that individual birds may remain seropositive for >1 year and that reinfection can occur despite low-level virus neutralizing antibodies.

自然感染黑鸟的Usutu病毒抗体动态，荷兰，2016-2018

Usutu病毒是一种人畜共患虫媒病毒，可导致黑鸟大量死亡。通过对自然感染的野生黑鹂（Turdus merula）病毒特异性抗体动力学的独特纵向数据集，我们发现单个鸟可能在1年内保持血清阳性，并且尽管低水平的病毒中和抗体也可能发生再次感染。

期刊介绍： Emerging Infectious Diseases is a monthly open access journal published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The primary goal of this peer-reviewed journal is to advance the global recognition of both new and reemerging infectious diseases, while also enhancing our understanding of the underlying factors that contribute to disease emergence, prevention, and elimination. Targeted towards professionals in the field of infectious diseases and related sciences, the journal encourages diverse contributions from experts in academic research, industry, clinical practice, public health, as well as specialists in economics, social sciences, and other relevant disciplines. By fostering a collaborative approach, Emerging Infectious Diseases aims to facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue and address the multifaceted challenges posed by infectious diseases.
