Abstract excerpt
Sindbis virus (SINV) is a mosquito-borne Alphavirus responsible for outbreaks of SINV disease, mainly in north Europe. SINV has been isolated from mosquitoes in Israel since the 1980s but SINV disease outbreaks have never been recorded. To gain better understanding of the kinetics of SINV circulation in Israel, 3008 mosquito pools, collected 2004-2006 and 2013-2015, were tested for SINV and phylogenetic analysis...
