As at 12 November 2018, an outbreak of West Nile virus (WNV) was responsible for 139 WNV infection cases in Israel. Here, we characterise the epidemiology of the outbreak and demonstrate that only WNV lineage I was circulating in mosquitoes and responsible for WNV infection in humans. This suggests that the concurrence of the outbreak in Israel with WNV outbreaks in several European countries is not due to a common, more virulent WNV genotype.
截至 2018 年 11 月 12 日，以色列爆发的西尼罗河病毒（WNV）已导致 139 例 WNV 感染病例。在此，我们对疫情的流行病学特征进行了描述，并证实只有WNV 谱系 I 在蚊子中传播，并导致人类WNV 感染。这表明以色列的疫情与几个欧洲国家的 WNV 疫情同时发生并非由于共同的、毒力更强的 WNV 基因型所致。
