A major outbreak of febrile syndrome occurred during 2002 among the Greek Army forces in Cyprus. Serological and molecular investigations revealed that the causative agent was a Sicilian-like phlebovirus. A virus strain was isolated from a blood sample taken on the first day of the disease. Phylogenetic analysis of partial L RNA segment sequences revealed that the strain from Cyprus differed from sandfly Sicilian virus by 6.7% at the nucleotide level.
2002年,塞浦路斯的希腊军队中爆发了一场严重的发热综合征疫情。血清学和分子学调查显示,病原体是一种类似西西里岛的白蛉病毒。从疾病第一天采集的一份血样中分离出了一种病毒株。对L RNA部分片段序列进行的系统发育分析显示,塞浦路斯的病毒株在核苷酸水平上与白蛉西西里病毒存在6.7%的差异。
