Flavivirus RNA in Phlebotomine Sandflies [PDF]

Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases, 2010
Sandfly-transmitted phleboviruses, such as Toscana, sandfly fever Sicilian, and sandfly fever Naples, can cause human disease and circulate at high rates in Mediterranean countries. Previous studies have also established that viruses other than phleboviruses may be detected in and isolated from sand flies. The recent detection and isolation (in a large
