Abstract

Toscana virus (TOSV) is identified in sandflies, animals, and humans around the Mediterranean Sea. TOSV has not been reported in Australia. During investigations of cerebrospinal fluid samples from patients with encephalitis, TOSV genetic sequences were identified in a traveler returning to Australia from Europe. TOSV should be considered, especially during May to October, in travelers to Australia who embarked in countries in and around the Mediterranean Sea and who subsequently present for medical care because of neurological symptoms.

摘要

托斯卡纳病毒（TOSV）在地中海周围的蚊虫、动物和人类中被发现。TOSV 在澳大利亚尚未有报告。在对脑炎患者的脑脊液样本进行调查时，从一名从欧洲返回澳大利亚的旅行者身上发现了 TOSV 的遗传序列。TOSV 应该被考虑，特别是在 5 月至 10 月期间，前往澳大利亚的旅行者，他们在进入地中海及其周围国家后，因为出现神经症状而接受医疗护理。
