West Nile virus (WNV) reemerged in Morocco in September 2003, causing an equine outbreak. A WNV strain isolated from a brain biopsy was completely sequenced. On the basis of phylogenetic analyses, Moroccan WNV strains isolated during the 1996 and 2003 outbreaks were closely related to other strains responsible for equine outbreaks in the western Mediterranean basin.
西尼罗河病毒(WNV)于2003年9月在摩洛哥再次出现,引发了一场马疫情。从一份脑活检样本中分离出的一株西尼罗河病毒进行了全基因组测序。基于系统发育分析,1996年和2003年疫情期间在摩洛哥分离出的西尼罗河病毒毒株与地中海盆地西部其他引发马疫情的毒株密切相关。
