“…A serological survey in Finland revealed that 5% of Mountain hares (Lepus timidus) and none of the Lepus europeaus tested had antibodies against Inkoo virus (Brummer-Korvenkontio, 1973). Similar viruses have been isolated from mosquitoes and humans in Russia (Vanlandingham et al, 2002).…”

“…Prototype strain 'Snowshoe hare original' was isolated from the blood of Lepus americanus, in Montana, USA in 1959 (Burgdorfer et al 1961). In Europe, it was first isolated from Ochlerotatus communis in North European Russia in 1986 (Lvov et al 1989a, b;Butenko et al 1991;Vanlandingham et al 2002). Distribution outside Europe is northern USA, Canada, and Asian Russia.…”

Mosquito-borne viruses in Europe

The number of mosquito-borne viruses ('moboviruses') occurring in Europe since the twentieth century now stands at ten; they belong to three families-Togaviridae (Sindbis, Chikungunya), Flaviviridae (West Nile, Usutu, Dengue), and Bunyaviridae (Batai, Tahyna, Snowshoe hare, Inkoo, Lednice). Several of them play a definite role in human or animal pathology (Sindbis, Chikungunya, Dengue, West Nile, Tahyna). Mobovirus outbreaks are strictly determined by the presence and/or import of particular competent vectors of the disease. Ecological variables affect moboviruses considerably; the main factors are population density of mosquito vectors and their vertebrate hosts, intense summer precipitations or floods, summer temperatures and drought, and presence of appropriate habitats, e.g., wetlands, small water pools, or intravillan sewage systems. A surveillance for moboviruses and the diseases they cause in Europe is recommendable, because the cases may often pass unnoticed or misdiagnosed not only in free-living vertebrates but also in domestic animals and even in humans.

“…The most common CAL serogroup viruses in Eurasia are TAHV and INKV (Demikhov et al, 1991). SSHV also circulates in northern Russia, and cases of Snowshoe hare encephalitis have been reported in North America (Artsob, 1983;Vanlandingham et al, 2002). CVV is endemic in Canada, Mexico, and the United States.…”

A duplex TaqMan real-time RT-PCR assay was developed for the detection of California (CAL) serogroup viruses and Cache Valley virus (CVV), for use in human surveillance. The targets selected for the assay were the sequences encoding the nucleocapsid protein of CAL and the G1 glycoprotein of CVV. Conserved regions were selected by aligning genetic sequences from various strains available in the GenBank database. Primers and probes were selected in conserved regions. The assay sensitivity was 75 gene copies (gc)/reaction for CAL serogroup viruses and 30 gc/reaction for CVV. The performance of the assay was linear over at least 6 log10 gc. The assay was specific, given that it did not cross-react with a variety of pathogens. It did however, detect 11 viruses within the CAL serogroup, and 12 CVV isolates. The use of an internal control ensured that possible inefficiency in nucleic acid extraction or PCR inhibition would be detected.
