The New Jersey serotype of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSNJ) is enzootic on Ossabaw Island, Georgia. Lutzomyia shannoni is the only phlebotomine sand fly present on the island and there is strong evidence that it is a vector of the virus at this site. This overview summarizes the studies that have been done on the island, reviews the evidence which confirms that L. shannoni is a biological vector of VSNJ, and discusses remaining unknown aspects of the epizootiology of VSNJ.
新泽西型水疱性口炎病毒(VSNJ)在佐治亚州的奥萨巴岛呈地方流行性。香农白蛉是该岛上唯一存在的白蛉属沙蝇,并且有充分证据表明它是该病毒在此地的传播媒介。本综述总结了在该岛上所开展的研究,回顾了证实香农白蛉是VSNJ生物传播媒介的证据,并讨论了VSNJ动物流行病学中仍不为人知的方面。
