Usutu virus (USUV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus closely related to West Nile virus (WNV) that is endemic in many European countries. We report the first case of USUV neuroinvasive disease in Austria and discuss challenges in differentiating USUV from WNV infections in areas where both viruses are endemic.
乌苏图病毒(USUV)是一种通过蚊子传播的黄病毒,与西尼罗河病毒(WNV)密切相关,在许多欧洲国家呈地方性流行。我们报告了奥地利首例乌苏图病毒神经侵袭性疾病病例,并讨论了在两种病毒均呈地方性流行的地区区分乌苏图病毒感染与西尼罗河病毒感染所面临的挑战。
