An outbreak of encephalitis due to West Nile (WN) virus occurred in New York City and the surrounding areas during 1999. Mosquitoes were collected as part of a comprehensive surveillance program implemented to monitor the outbreak. More than 32,000 mosquitoes representing 24 species were tested, and 15 WN virus isolates were obtained. Molecular techniques were used to identify the species represented in the WN virus-positive mosquito pools. Most isolates were from pools containing Culex pipiens mosquitoes, but several pools contained two or more Culex species.
1999年,纽约市及其周边地区爆发了由西尼罗河(WN)病毒引起的脑炎疫情。作为监测疫情的综合监测计划的一部分,收集了蚊子样本。对代表24个物种的32000多只蚊子进行了检测,获得了15株WN病毒分离株。采用分子技术鉴定WN病毒阳性蚊子样本中的物种。大多数分离株来自含有致倦库蚊的样本池,但有几个样本池含有两种或更多种库蚊。
