Abstract

There are three human pathogenic bird-viruses transmitted by Culex mosquitoes in Europe: the alphavirus Sindbis and the flaviviruses West Nile virus and Usutu virus. Cases of Sindbis fever occur in the north while the flaviviruses are reported from southern Europe. In this study, 7933 Culex pipiens/torrentium mosquitoes from southern Sweden were screened by RTqPCR for these viruses. None of the mosquitoes were positive for viral RNA. The importance of mosquito species composition is discussed as a potential explanation to the lack of detection of mosquito-borne viruses in southern Sweden. However, continued surveillance of mosquitoes for Flaviviruses would be valuable as an early warning for public health awareness.

瑞典南部蚊媒黄病毒和辛德比斯病毒监测。

在欧洲有三种由库蚊传播的人类致病性鸟类病毒:甲病毒Sindbis和黄病毒西尼罗河病毒和Usutu病毒。信德比热病例发生在北部，而黄病毒报告来自南欧。本研究采用RTqPCR技术对来自瑞典南部的7933只库蚊/种子蚊进行了病毒筛选。没有一只蚊子的病毒RNA呈阳性。讨论了蚊子种类组成的重要性，作为瑞典南部缺乏蚊媒病毒检测的潜在解释。然而，继续对蚊子进行黄病毒监测对于提高公众卫生意识的早期预警是有价值的。

期刊介绍： Infection Ecology & Epidemiology aims to stimulate inter-disciplinary collaborations dealing with a range of subjects, from the plethora of zoonotic infections in humans, over diseases with implication in wildlife ecology, to advanced virology and bacteriology. The journal specifically welcomes papers from studies where researchers from multiple medical and ecological disciplines are collaborating so as to increase our knowledge of the emergence, spread and effect of new and re-emerged infectious diseases in humans, domestic animals and wildlife. Main areas of interest include, but are not limited to: 1.Zoonotic microbioorganisms 2.Vector borne infections 3.Gastrointestinal pathogens 4.Antimicrobial resistance 5.Zoonotic microbioorganisms in changing environment
