Evolutionary dynamics of Usutu virus: Worldwide dispersal patterns and transmission dynamics in Europe

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
BackgroundUsutu virus (USUV) is an emerging mosquito-borne Flavivirus, with birds as the main zoonotic reservoir. Humans are accidental hosts and mostly develop mild or even asymptomatic infections, although severe complications such as encephalitis can ...

Competition between Usutu virus and West Nile virus during simultaneous and sequential infection of Culex pipiens mosquitoes

Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2020
Usutu virus (USUV) and West Nile virus (WNV) are closely related mosquito-borne flaviviruses that are mainly transmitted between bird hosts by vector mosquitoes. Infections in humans are incidental but can cause severe disease.

Emerging Trends in the Epidemiology of West Nile and Usutu Virus Infections in Southern Europe

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
The epidemiology of West Nile (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV) has changed dramatically over the past two decades. Since 1999, there have been regular reports of WNV outbreaks and the virus has expanded its area of circulation in many Southern European ...
