Abstract
In August 2014, a West Nile virus (WNV) strain belonging to lineage 2 was detected in the brain tissues of a 9 year old mare euthanised after showing severe clinical signs in Bursa region, Turkey. Phylogenetic analyses of 290 bp of NS3 coding region clustered the Turkish strain together with the 2010-2012 Greek isolates. Either IgG and IgM or IgG only WNV antibodies were detected in 2 and 11 horses, respectively, which were in the outbreak surrounding. No WNV RNA was detected in pools of 50 individuals of Culex pipiens (n = 2), Ochlerotatus caspius (n = 2), and Culex theileri (n = 1) collected in the infected premises.
