Shuni Virus in Cases of Neurologic Disease in Humans, South Africa [PDF]
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021 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
