A suspicion on West Nile virus (WNV) in Serbia was first reported in 1972 by a seroprevalence study, after which no data were available for four decades. We report full sequence of the isolate obtained for the first time from a human sample in Serbia. The closest clustering was obtained with lineage 2 WNV identified in Greece in 2010. Since WNV lineage 2 emerged in Europe in 2004, a cocirculation of lineages 1 and 2-as observed in Hungary and Italy-cannot be excluded. The reinforcement of surveillance will be required to investigate the possible cocirculation of the two lineages and the burden of WNV in the local population.
1972年，一项血清流行率研究首次报告了塞尔维亚存在西尼罗河病毒（WNV）的疑似情况，此后四十年间没有相关数据。我们报告了首次从塞尔维亚人类样本中获得的分离株的完整序列。与2010年在希腊鉴定出的2型WNV亲缘关系最近。由于2型WNV于2004年在欧洲出现，不能排除1型和2型病毒在匈牙利和意大利所观察到的那样共同流行的情况。需要加强监测，以调查这两种病毒可能的共同流行情况以及WNV在当地人群中的负担。
