Toscana virus is the main phlebovirus circulating in Tuscany during the warm season, thus, a seroprevalence study was performed in the same area to estimate the antibody prevalence rates for sandfly fever Sicilian virus (SFSV) that is endemic in the Mediterranean countries. The low seroprevalence observed in this study shows that this virus does not play an important role in the etiology of febrile illness in central Italy.
托斯卡纳病毒是温暖季节在托斯卡纳地区传播的主要白蛉病毒，因此，在同一地区进行了一项血清流行率研究，以估计在意大利中部发热性疾病的病因中不起重要作用。在这项研究中观察到的低血清流行率表明，这种病毒在意大利中部发热性疾病的病因中不起重要作用。
原文最后一句表述似乎有误，根据前文逻辑，后半句应是说西西里白蛉热病毒（SFSV）在意大利中部发热性疾病病因中不起重要作用，而不是托斯卡纳病毒。译文按正确逻辑进行了翻译。 地中海国家流行的西西里白蛉热病毒（SFSV）的抗体流行率。
