North American Culex pipiens and Culex quinquefasciatus are competent vectors for Usutu virus.
BACKGROUND:Usutu virus (USUV) is a member of the Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) serocomplex in the Flaviviridae family. Emergence of USUV in Europe has led to disease burdens in birds and created increasing concern for the potential zoonotic transmission to humans. Whilst USUV has not been detect...
