West Nile virus (WNV) antibodies were detected in horses from five Mexican states, and WNV was isolated from a Common Raven in the state of Tabasco. Phylogenetic studies indicate that this isolate, the first from Mexico, is related to strains from the central United States but has a relatively high degree of sequence divergence.
在墨西哥五个州的马匹中检测到西尼罗河病毒(WNV)抗体,并且在塔巴斯科州的一只普通渡鸦体内分离出了西尼罗河病毒。系统发育研究表明,这种分离株是墨西哥的首例,与美国中部的毒株有关,但具有较高程度的序列差异。
