Ross River virus, a mosquitoborne alphavirus, causes epidemic polyarthritis in Australia and the Pacific region. We analyzed serum cytokine, chemokine, and growth factor levels in travelers returning to Germany from Australia. Serum samples showed elevated concentrations in the acute phase of the illness and, more pronounced, in the long-lasting convalescent phase.
罗斯河病毒是一种由蚊子传播的甲病毒,在澳大利亚和太平洋地区引发流行性多关节炎。我们分析了从澳大利亚返回德国的旅行者血清中的细胞因子、趋化因子和生长因子水平。血清样本显示,在疾病急性期浓度升高,而在持久的恢复期更为明显。
