Mayaro virus (MAYV) disease is a mosquito-borne zoonosis endemic in humid forests of tropical South America. MAYV is closely related to other alphaviruses that produce a dengue-like illness accompanied by long-lasting arthralgia. A French tourist developed high-grade fever and severe joint manifestations following a 15-day trip in the Amazon basin, Brazil, and was diagnosed with MAYV infection in January 2010. This case is the first reported in a traveller returning from an endemic South American country to Europe.
马亚罗病毒(MAYV)病是一种蚊媒性人畜共患病,流行于南美洲潮湿的热带森林中。MAYV 与其他引起登革热样疾病并伴有长期关节痛的阿尔法病毒密切相关。2010 年 1 月,一名法国游客在巴西亚马逊盆地旅行 15 天后出现高热和严重关节表现,被诊断为 MAYV 感染。这是首例从南美流行国家返回欧洲的旅行者报告的病例。
