We detected Usutu virus in a dead Eurasian blackbird (Turdus merula) in Luxembourg in September 2020. The strain clustered within the Africa 3.1 lineage identified in Western Europe since 2016. Our results suggest maintenance of the virus in Europe despite little reporting during 2019-2020, rather than a new introduction.
我们在 2020 年 9 月于卢森堡的一只死欧亚鸲(Turdus merula)中检测到了乌苏图病毒。该毒株与 2016 年以来在西欧发现的非洲 3.1 谱系内的毒株聚类在一起。我们的结果表明,尽管在 2019-2020 年期间报告较少,但该病毒仍在欧洲得到维持,而不是新的传入。
