Abstract
Toscana Virus RNA in<i>Sergentomyia minuta</i>Flies
Highlights
Phlebotomus perniciosus, from P. perfiliewi, but never from P. papatasi
Toscana virus (TOSV) has been isolated from the brain of a bat in areas where P. perniciosus and P. perfiliewi were present, but no hemagglutinationinhibiting antibodies were found in sera from these bats [5]
In Spain, 2 isolates of TOSV were recovered from 103 pools of sandflies; sequence analyses showed that they were genetically divergent from the Italian strains [6]
