Abstract

Phleboviruses, among them Toscana virus (TOSV), are endemic in the Mediterranean countries. In the present study sera collected from 219 apparently healthy individuals residents of seven islands in the Aegean Sea, Greece, were tested for the detection of TOSV IgG antibodies. Overall, TOSV IgG antibodies were detected in 46/219 (21%) individuals. Samos and Evia islands presented the highest seroprevalence (40% and 34.78%, respectively). There was no significant difference among males and females, while increased age was significantly associated with seropositivity. TOSV, and phleboviruses in general, have to be included in the differential diagnosis of febrile or acute neurological cases among residents or travelers in Mediterranean countries during the summer time, especially when sand fly bites are reported.

摘要

噬肝病毒科病毒，包括托斯卡纳病毒（TOSV），在地中海国家流行。在本研究中，检测了来自希腊爱琴海七个岛屿的 219 名貌似健康的个体的血清，以检测 TOSV IgG 抗体。结果显示，共有 46/219（21%）个体检测出 TOSV IgG 抗体。萨摩斯岛和埃维亚岛的血清阳性率最高（分别为 40%和 34.78%）。男性和女性之间没有显著差异，而年龄增长与血清阳性率显著相关。TOSV 以及噬肝病毒科病毒，应在夏季地中海国家的居民或旅行者出现发热或急性神经系统疾病时，纳入鉴别诊断，尤其是出现沙蝇叮咬时。
