Sera from apparently healthy residents of various age from different localities of the Adriatic island of Mljet were tested by the plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) for antibodies to sandfly fever Naples virus (SFN). An average of 51.4% of the sera examined was found to have neutralizing antibodies. Reactors to SFN virus were found in all the age groups examined and the antibody prevalence appeared to increase with age. The presence of SFN neutralizing antibodies in all age groups indicates that the virus must have been present endemically and that it is still active on the island of Mljet.
采用空斑减少中和试验(PRNT)对来自亚得里亚海姆列特岛不同地区、不同年龄的看似健康居民的血清进行检测,以检测其对那不勒斯白蛉热病毒(SFN)的抗体。结果发现,平均51.4%的受检血清含有中和抗体。在所有受检年龄组中均发现了对SFN病毒的反应者,且抗体流行率似乎随年龄增长而增加。所有年龄组中均存在SFN中和抗体,这表明该病毒必定在当地流行,且目前在姆列特岛上仍然活跃。
