In October 2012, a 3-year-old bullfinch (Pyrrhula pyrrhula) held in captivity for its entire lifespan and a wild adult great spotted woodpecker (Dendrocopos major), both with neurological signs, were found 4 km from each other and 5 days apart in the Meuse Valley, Belgium. Non-suppurative encephalitis and mild degeneration and necrosis were identified in the brain and cerebellum, and Usutu virus antigen and RNA were detected by immunohistochemistry and real-time reverse transcriptase PCR, respectively. The two cases reported here represent the most western distribution of clinical disease in birds due to Usutu virus in Europe.
2012年10月，在比利时默兹河谷，发现了一只终生圈养的3岁雄灰雀（灰雀属）和一只患有神经症状的野生成年大斑啄木鸟（啄木鸟属），它们相距4公里，相隔5天被发现。在大脑和小脑中发现了非化脓性脑炎以及轻度变性和坏死，分别通过免疫组织化学和实时逆转录聚合酶链反应检测到乌苏图病毒抗原和RNA。此处报告的两例病例代表了欧洲因乌苏图病毒导致的鸟类临床疾病最西端的分布情况。
