Global Dynamics of a Within-Host Model for Usutu Virus
Computation, 2023 We propose a within-host mathematical model for the dynamics of Usutu virus infection, incorporating Crowley–Martin functional response. The basic reproduction number R0 is found by applying the next-generation matrix approach.

Tracking the urban spread of Usutu virus in southern France: Detection across biological and environmental matrices. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical DiseasesThe Usutu virus, a neurotropic Orthoflavivirus transmitted by mosquitoes, was first identified in South Africa in 1959 and has progressively spread across Europe over the past two decades. This virus follows an enzootic cycle between mosquitoes and birds,

West Nile Virus and Usutu Virus Co-Circulation in Europe: Epidemiology and Implications
Microorganisms, 2019 West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) are neurotropic mosquito-borne flaviviruses that may infect humans. Although WNV is much more widespread and plays a much larger role in human health, the two viruses are characterized by similar envelope ...

West Nile and Usutu viruses: current spreading and future threats in a warming northern Europe
Frontiers in VirologyClimate change heavily threatens planetary and human health. Arboviral infections are best studied using the One Health concept, due to their reliance on complex interactions between environmental factors, arthropod vectors and vertebrate hosts.

Usutu Virus Antibody Dynamics in Naturally Infected Blackbirds, the Netherlands, 2016–2018 [PDF]
Emerging Infectious DiseasesUsutu virus is a zoonotic arbovirus that causes massive mortality in blackbirds. Using a unique longitudinal dataset on the kinetics of virus-specific antibodies in naturally infected wild blackbirds (Turdus merula), we found that individual birds may ...
