Monitoring West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) activity now has the highest priority among mosquito-borne pathogenic viruses circulating in the European Union. This study documents a first time detection and the co-circulation of WNV lineage-2 (with the minimal prevalence of 0.46%) and USUV clade Europe 2 (with the minimal prevalence of 0.25%) in mosquitoes from the same habitat of south-western Slovakia and underlines necessity to perform rigorous surveillance in birds, mosquitoes, horses and humans in that country.
监测西尼罗河病毒（WNV）和乌苏图病毒（USUV）的活动现在是欧盟内传播的蚊媒致病性病毒中优先级最高的。本研究首次在来自斯洛伐克西南部同一栖息地的蚊子中检测到WNV 谱系 2（最低流行率为 0.46%）和 USUV 欧洲 2 组（最低流行率为 0.25%）的共存，并强调了在该国对鸟类、蚊子、马匹和人类进行严格监测的必要性。
