Lower Bird Evenness and Diversity Are Associated With Higher Usutu Prevalence in Culex pipiens Mosquitoes

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 4, Page 359-368, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction The mosquito‐transmitted Usutu virus has spread in the last few years, becoming endemic in several areas of Europe, such as in the southern French region of the Camargue. Our aim was to study the relationships between the presence of the viral agent in Culex mosquitoes and the structure of bird communities in the context of the ...

Human Usutu Virus Infection with Atypical Neurologic Presentation, Montpellier, France, 2016

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
Infection with Usutu virus (USUV) has been recently associated with neurologic disorders, such as encephalitis or meningoencephalitis, in humans. These findings indicate that USUV is a potential health threat. We report an acute human infection with USUV

Environmental determinants of West Nile virus vector abundance at the wildlife–livestock interface Determinantes ambientales de la abundancia de vectores del virus del Nilo Occidental en la interfaz fauna‐ganado

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 200-215, March 2025.
Mosquito communities in southern inland Iberia are dominated by highly competent vectors of West Nile virus. The coexistence of Culex pipiens and Culex theileri in southern inland Iberia indicates that both species should be involved in West Nile virus transmission.

Usutu Virus Infection of Embryonated Chicken Eggs and a Chicken Embryo-Derived Primary Cell Line

Viruses, 2020
Usutu virus (USUV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus, closely related to the West Nile virus (WNV). Similar to WNV, USUV may cause infections in humans, with occasional, but sometimes severe, neurological complications.

Seroprevalence study of West Nile virus and Usutu virus in blood, organs, cells and tissue donors in Italy, 2021-2022: Seroprevalence of WNV and USUV in Italian blood-organ donors

Blood Transfusion
Background - West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) are endemic in Italy. Some regions experience high annual circulation, while others report only sporadic or low-level activity. Materials and methods - A national survey was conducted to assess WNV and USUV seroprevalence among blood and organ donors.

Impact of temperature on vector competence of Culex pipiens molestus: implications for Usutu virus transmission in temperate regions

Parasites & Vectors
Background Usutu virus (USUV) has been detected annually in the southeast of England since 2020. USUV RNA has been identified in wild birds and mosquito populations, and exposure of captive birds to USUV has also been confirmed in the UK. Since its first

USUV exposure, determinants and immunity after the 2018 epizootic among captive birds in French zoos

Background The Usutu virus (USUV) was first detected in France in 2015. In 2018, this mosquito-borne zoonotic flavivirus caused an outbreak across the French mainland, leading to high mortality in both wild and captive bird populations.
