The study detected Shuni virus in human neurologic disease cases in South Africa, with SHUV RNA identified in 5% of cerebrospinal fluid specimens collected from public sector hospitals during the arbovirus season. This finding suggests that SHUV may be a previously unrecognized cause of human neurologic infections in Africa.
We describe Shuni virus (SHUV) detection in human neurologic disease cases in South Africa. SHUV RNA was identified in 5% of cerebrospinal fluid specimens collected during the arbovirus season from public sector hospitals. This finding suggests that SHUV may be a previously unrecognized cause of human neurologic infections in Africa.
