Diagnostic tools for Toscana virus infection

Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2011
Toscana virus (TOSV; Phlebovirus, Bunyaviridae) is an important etiological agent of acute meningitis and meningoencephalitis in Mediterranean countries. Laboratory diagnosis has been carried out in serological studies using ELISA, immunofluorescence and/or neutralization tests that are not influenced by the virus viability; however, in the acute phase

Immunological characterization of Toscana virus proteins

Archives of Virology, 1999
The genome of Toscana virus (Bunyaviridae family, Phlebovirus genus) consists of three single stranded RNA segments (L, M, S), with negative polarity. The L and M segments contain a single ORF in viral complementary sense and the S segment contains two ORFs in "ambisense" orientation. The M segment codes for three proteins in 3'-5' genomic orientation:

Immunoblot detection of antibodies to Toscana virus

Journal of Medical Virology, 1996
Sera from patients with sandfly fever caused by Toscana virus (TOSV) infection were tested by immunoblot for specific antibody response to TOSV derived from infected Vero-E6 cells. The 28 kDa TOSV nucleoprotein (N) was identified as the major immunodominant protein recognized by immunoblot.

Sensory polymyeloradiculopathy associated with Toscana virus infection

Journal of NeuroVirology, 2013
Sandfly viruses are arthropod-borne viruses that are endemic in the Mediterranean basin. The Toscana virus (TOSV) is the only serotype of sandfly viruses known to cause neurological symptoms in humans, usually aseptic meningitis or meningoencephalitis.

Toscana virus encephalitis following a holiday in Sicily

Practical Neurology, 2015
We report a case of Toscana virus encephalitis. This emerging pathogen is among the three most common causes of meningoencephalitis in Europe during the warm season, yet remains under-recognised. Doctors should consider Toscana virus infection in patients presenting with neurological symptoms who have a relevant exposure history during the summer ...
