Ossabaw Island, Georgia, is the only reported endemic focus of Vesicular Stomatitis New Jersey Virus (VSNJV) in the United States. Based on recent negative serologic results of white-tailed deer and feral swine and the failure to isolate VSNJV from Lutzomyia shannoni, it appears that VSNJV is no longer present at this site. This apparent disappearance does not appear to be related to a change in L. shannoni habitat, specifically to the density of tree holes in the maritime and mixed hardwood forests. We believe that the disappearance of VSNJV from Ossabaw Island is directly related to a reduction in the feral swine population and a subsequent increase in the utilization of white-tailed deer by the known vector, L. shannoni.
佐治亚州的 Ossabaw 岛是美国唯一有报道的 Vesicular Stomatitis New Jersey Virus（VSNJV）地方性流行中心。基于最近白尾鹿和野猪的血清学阴性结果，以及未能从 Lutzomyia shannoni 中分离出 VSNJV，表明该病毒已不在该地点存在。这种明显的消失似乎与 L. shannoni 栖息地的变化无关，特别是与沿海和混合硬木林中树洞的密度无关。我们认为，VSNJV 从 Ossabaw 岛消失与野猪数量的减少直接相关，这导致了已知媒介 L. shannoni 对白尾鹿的利用增加。
