A serological survey for antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV), dengue viruses (DEN), West Nile virus (WN), and sindbis virus (SIN) was carried out in sera of selected groups of the population of the Islands of Mauritius (n = 449) and Rodrigues (n = 115), Indian Ocean. 8.3% of 564 sera were positive for anti-HCV. In Mauritius, 2.1% of sera of healthy individuals were found with anti-HCV. The highest prevalence was found in sexually transmitted disease (STD) patients and prison inmates with 46.2% and 43.8%, respectively. None of the sera from blood donors sampled from Rodrigues Island had anti-HCV. Antibodies to arboviruses were detected in sera of individuals from both islands. Anti-DEN IgG was detected in 3.8% of sera from Mauritius and 0.9% from Rodrigues. Anti-WN IgG was detected in 2.2% of sera from Mauritius and 0.9% from Rodrigues. All sera from Rodrigues were without anti-SIN IgG, 1.1% of those from Mauritius were positive. This suggests that arboviruses occur on these islands.
在印度洋毛里求斯岛（n = 449）和罗德里格斯岛（n = 115）特定人群的血清中，开展了一项针对丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）、登革病毒（DEN）、西尼罗河病毒（WN）和辛德毕斯病毒（SIN）抗体的血清学调查。564份血清中有8.3%抗HCV呈阳性。在毛里求斯，健康个体血清中抗HCV的检出率为2.1%。在性传播疾病（STD）患者和监狱囚犯中抗HCV的患病率最高，分别为46.2%和43.8%。从罗德里格斯岛采集的献血者血清中均无抗HCV。在两个岛屿个体的血清中均检测到虫媒病毒抗体。在毛里求斯3.8%的血清和罗德里格斯0.9%的血清中检测到抗DEN IgG。在毛里求斯2.2%的血清和罗德里格斯0.9%的血清中检测到抗WN IgG。罗德里格斯岛所有血清均无抗SIN IgG，毛里求斯1.1%的血清呈阳性。这表明这些岛屿存在虫媒病毒。
