Detection of Flavivirus (West Nile Fever Virus and Usutu Virus) in the samples of mosquitoes collected in Hungary
Absztrakt
As vectors of various pathogens, mosquitoes hold a significant role in human
and veterinary medicine. Their capacity to transmit a wide spectrum of
potentially deadly diseases, including viruses belonging to the Flaviviridae
family, highlights their importance concerning public health. These arboviruses
can spread when vector mosquito species feed humans, birds, and mammals.
The behaviour, feeding habits, preferred habitats, and geographical distribution
of these vector mosquito species play a critical role in understanding the
epidemiology of mosquito-borne diseases.
