Overview
The main goals of the study were to carry out virus isolation attempts on Vero cell cultures from mosquitoes collected in southern Moravia (Břeclav district, Czech Republic) and to identify the isolates using a microtiter virus neutralization test. A total of 9.742 female mosquitoes belonging to 13 species were examined, and three viral strains were isolated, all from the mosquitoes collected in 2006: two of these isolates were identified as Ťahyňa Orthobunyavirus (both obtained from Aedes vexans mosquitoes) and one was West Nile flavivirus (obtained from Aedes rossicus mosquitoes). Ae. rossicus might be a new vector for West Nile virus.
Key words:
mosquitoes – West Nile virus – Ťahyňa virus – Vero cells – virus neutralization microtest – natural focus – floodplain forest ecosystem – southern Moravia – Czech Republic.
