Introduction of a European Central-South-Eastern West Nile Virus Lineage 2 strain in Italy in 2023: evidence from the first locally acquired neuroinvasive case in the Calabria region

2025-12-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> West Nile virus lineage 2 (WNV-2) is a growing public health concern in Europe causing West Nile fever or West Nile neuroinvasive disease (WNND) with substantial morbidity and mortality; however, genomic data from Southern Italy are limited despite recent expansion of autochthonous transmission. The aim of the study was to characterise the phylogenetic and molecular features of the WNV-2 strain...
