Putative New West Nile Virus Lineage in Uranotaenia unguiculata Mosquitoes, Austria, 2013 (http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/20/12/14-0921)

摘要

West Nile virus (WNV) is becoming more widespread and markedly effecting public health. We sequenced the complete polyprotein gene of a divergent WNV strain newly detected in a pool of Uranotaenia unguiculata mosquitoes in Austria. Phylogenetic analyses suggest that the new strain constitutes a ninth WNV lineage or a sublineage of WNV lineage 4.
