We performed a serologic investigation to determine whether orthobunyaviruses commonly infect humans in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. Orthobunyavirus-specific antibodies were detected by plaque reduction neutralization test in 146 (18%) of 823 persons tested. Further studies are needed to determine health risks for humans from this potentially deadly group of viruses.
我们进行了血清学调查,以确定在墨西哥尤卡坦半岛是否有常见的正粘病毒感染人类。在 823 名受检者中的 146 名(18%)中,通过蚀斑减少中和试验检测到了正粘病毒特异性抗体。需要进一步研究以确定人类感染这组潜在致命病毒的健康风险。
