“…The negative results in our study are probably due to the relatively small number of tested serum samples from horses, 61 in total for the three provinces, which is a limitation of this study. The absence of neutralizing antibodies against WNV in the provinces of Stara Zagora and Smolyan was confirmed in our study of archival sera from donkeys and mules collected in 2015 [22].…”

“…All ELISA-positive samples were further tested for neutralizing antibodies against Usutu virus, but no seropositivity was detected (titer < 1:10). Based on these results and based on previous studies [22,33], we can speculate that the circulation of Usutu virus among humans and other species in our country was not reported until 2022. The IP of the ELISA-positive samples showing virus-neutralizing antibodies was over 92%.…”
