Previous Usutu Virus Exposure Partially Protects Magpies (Pica pica) against West Nile Virus Disease But Does Not Prevent Horizontal Transmission

Viruses, 2021
The mosquito-borne flaviviruses USUV and WNV are known to co-circulate in large parts of Europe. Both are a public health concern, and USUV has been the cause of epizootics in both wild and domestic birds, and neurological cases in humans in Europe. Here,

Exposure of Horses in Israel to West Nile Virus and Usutu Virus

Viruses, 2020
West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) are arboviruses transmitted by mosquito vectors. Whereas WNV is endemic in Israel, the Middle East, Europe, and in the Americas, data regarding the prevalence of USUV in the Middle East is limited.

Study of Usutu virus neuropathogenicity in mice and human cellular models.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
Usutu virus (USUV), an African mosquito-borne flavivirus closely related to West Nile virus, was first isolated in South Africa in 1959. USUV emerged in Europe two decades ago, causing notably massive mortality in Eurasian blackbirds.

Blood donor West Nile virus screening identifies three autochthonous Usutu virus infections in Spain. [PDF]

Transfusion
Abstract Background Considering the increase of West Nile virus (WNV) circulation in Europe, blood banks perform WNV Nucleic Acid Test testing to ensure transfusion safety during the WNV transmission season. Usutu virus (USUV), an arbovirus related to WNV, has relevant molecular and serological cross‐reactivity with WNV. Study Design and Methods During

In Vitro and In Vivo Models to Study the Zoonotic Mosquito-Borne Usutu Virus

Viruses, 2020
Usutu virus (USUV), a mosquito-borne zoonotic flavivirus discovered in South Africa in 1959, has spread to many European countries over the last 20 years.

Usutu Virus: An Emerging Flavivirus in Europe

Viruses, 2015
Usutu virus (USUV) is an African mosquito-borne flavivirus belonging to the Japanese encephalitis virus serocomplex. USUV is closely related to Murray Valley encephalitis virus, Japanese encephalitis virus, and West Nile virus.

A blood safety perspective on emerging arboviral infections in the United Kingdom. [PDF]

Transfus Med
Abstract A core focus of the blood services is to maintain the blood supply whilst simultaneously being vigilant for potential threats to blood safety. At present, West Nile virus (WNV), Usutu virus (USUV), Dengue virus (DENV) and Tick‐borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) are considered primary arboviral threats to blood safety in the UK and Northern Europe.

Deleterious effect of Usutu virus on human neural cells.

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017
In the last decade, the number of emerging Flaviviruses described worldwide has increased considerably. Among them Zika virus (ZIKV) and Usutu virus (USUV) are African mosquito-borne viruses that recently emerged.

Usutu virus escapes langerin-induced restriction to productively infect human Langerhans cells, unlike West Nile virus

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2022
Usutu virus (USUV) and West Nile virus (WNV) are phylogenetically close emerging arboviruses transmitted by mosquitoes, and constitute a global public health threat.

Usutu Virus Infects Human Placental Explants and Induces Congenital Defects in Mice

Viruses, 2022
Usutu virus (USUV) is a neurotropic mosquito-borne flavivirus that has dispersed quickly in Europe these past years. This arbovirus mainly follows an enzootic cycle involving mosquitoes and birds, but can also infect other mammals, causing notably ...
