A collection of 3069 human sera collected in the area of the municipality of Modena, Emilia Romagna, Italy, was retrospectively investigated for specific antibodies against Usutu (USUV) and West Nile viruses (WNV). All the samples resulting positive using a preliminary screening test were analyzed with the plaque reduction neutralization test. Overall, 24 sera were confirmed as positive for USUV (0.78%) and 13 for WNV (0.42%). The results suggest that in 2012, USUV was circulating more than WNV in North-eastern Italy.
对收集于意大利艾米利亚-罗马涅大区摩德纳市地区的 3069 份人血清进行了回顾性调查，以检测针对乌苏图病毒（USUV）和西尼罗河病毒（WNV）的特异性抗体。使用初步筛选试验检测为阳性的所有样本均使用蚀斑减少中和试验进行分析。总体而言，有 24 份血清被确认为 USUV 阳性（0.78%），13 份为 WNV 阳性（0.42%）。结果表明，2012 年，意大利东北部地区 USUV 的传播比 WNV 更为广泛。
