Abstract

In March 2025, as part of ongoing enhanced surveillance for mosquito-borne Orthoflaviviruses, West Nile virus (WNV) RNA was detected in two pools of female Aedes vexans collected in July 2023 in Nottinghamshire, England. Sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of a 402 bp fragment indicate clustering with WNV lineage 1a. The exact origin of this virus remains unclear, but this finding indicates a historic WNV presence in the United Kingdom. Surveillance has not provided evidence of further WNV transmission to date.

通过蚊虫虫媒病毒回顾性监测检测西尼罗病毒，英国，2025。

2025年3月，作为正在进行的加强蚊虫传播的正黄病毒监测的一部分，在2023年7月在英格兰诺丁汉郡收集的两个雌性刺纹伊蚊池中发现了西尼罗河病毒RNA。测序和系统发育分析表明该片段属于西尼罗河病毒1a谱系。该病毒的确切起源尚不清楚，但这一发现表明西尼罗河病毒在英国的历史存在。监测迄今未提供西尼罗河病毒进一步传播的证据。
