Usutu Virus Isolated from Rodents in Senegal

Viruses, 2019
Usutu virus (USUV) is a Culex-associated mosquito-borne flavivirus of the Flaviviridae family. Since its discovery in 1959, the virus has been isolated from birds, arthropods and humans in Europe and Africa. An increasing number of Usutu virus infections

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 Diseases
The 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,

Usutu Virus Antibody Dynamics in Naturally Infected Blackbirds, the Netherlands, 2016–2018 [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Usutu 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 ...

An amplicon-based sequencing approach for Usutu virus characterization [PDF]

Virology Journal
Usutu virus (USUV), an arbovirus from the Flaviviridae family, genus Flavivirus, has recently gained increasing attention because of its potential for emergence. After his discovery in South Africa, USUV spread to other African countries, then emerged in

West Nile and Usutu viruses: current spreading and future threats in a warming northern Europe

Frontiers in Virology
Climate 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.
