West Nile and Usutu Virus Introduction via Migratory Birds: A Retrospective Analysis in Italy

Elisa Mancuso et al.

Summary: In this study, the potential role of migratory birds in spreading West Nile Virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) from Africa and Central Europe to Mediterranean areas was investigated. Molecular and serological surveys were conducted on migrating birds sampled in Italy, revealing the presence of WNV and USUV RNA as well as neutralizing antibodies against these viruses. This highlights the importance of active surveillance of zoonotic viruses in order to better understand their transmission patterns.

Analysis of avian Usutu virus infections in Germany from 2011 to 2018 with focus on dsRNA detection to demonstrate viral infections

Theresa Stoerk et al.

Summary: The study focused on combining virological and pathological findings in birds infected with USUV, revealing splenomegaly and hepatomegaly as common symptoms, with histopathological lesions including necrosis and lymphohistiocytic inflammation. immunohistochemistry showed USUV antigen positive cells in various organs, and analysis of viral genome identified the virus lineage as Europe 3 or Africa 2. Additionally, the study investigated the detection of dsRNA as an alternative tool for viral intermediate detection, with two animals showing a positive signal for dsRNA in liver and spleen.

Climate change and risk of arboviral diseases in the state of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)

Antonio Carlos Oscar Junior et al.

Summary: This study assesses the relationship between global climate change and the risk of arboviral diseases for the state of Rio de Janeiro. The results indicate that with the elevation of thermal and hygrometric conditions, there may be an intensification and spatial expansion of the risk of arboviral diseases in the state.

The central role of Italy in the spatial spread of USUTU virus in Europe

B. Zecchin et al.

Summary: The study sequenced and analyzed 138 new USUV full genomes from North-eastern Italy, revealing four different lineages circulating in the country. Italy was found to mainly act as a donor of USUV to neighboring countries, with two geographical clusters mainly circulating in Northern and North-western Italy. The research provides important insights into the spatial and evolutionary dynamics of USUTU virus, aiding in the improvement of surveillance plans and control strategies for this increasingly concerning virus for human health.

The central role of Italy in the spatial spread of USUTU virus in Europe

B. Zecchin et al.

Summary: This study sequenced 138 new USUV full genomes from mosquito pools and wild birds in North-eastern Italy, identifying four different lineages circulating in Italy. By investigating spatial spread in Europe, it was found that Italy mainly acted as a donor of USUV to neighbouring countries.
