Abstract
We detected West Nile virus (WNV) nucleic acid in crocodiles (Crocodylus niloticus) in Zambia. Phylogenetically, the virus belonged to lineage 1a, which is predominant in the Northern Hemisphere. These data provide evidence that WNV is circulating in crocodiles in Africa and increases the risk for animal and human transmission.
摘要
我们在赞比亚的鳄鱼（尼罗鳄）中检测到了西尼罗河病毒（WNV）核酸。从系统进化上看，该病毒属于在北半球占主导地位的 1a 谱系。这些数据提供了证据，表明 WNV 在非洲的鳄鱼中传播，并增加了动物和人传播的风险。
