“…Because limited serologic cross-reactivity between lyssaviruses and other rhabdoviruses has been demonstrated (12), the WCBV seroprevalence we detected may have been caused by some other serologically related virus. However, to date no other agent that could cross-neutralize WCBV is known (7).…”

“…1 The virus was subsequently identified morphologically as a rhabdovirus and found to cross-react solidly in complementation-fixation tests with Keuraliba virus (KEUV), which was isolated in 1968 from the liver of a gerbil (Tatera kempi) trapped in a millet and peanut plantation in Saboya, Senegal. [1][2][3] Surveys of human sera in Senegal detected no other evidence of either LDV or KEUV infection but KEUV antibody was detected in 1% of gerbils and other rodent species tested. However, LDV antibody was detected in a 47-year-old male in Wales who reported fever, headache, and delirium after being bitten in 1969 by an insect while unloading peanuts from a ship that had come from Nigeria.…”

The Le Dantec serogroup of rhabdoviruses comprises Le Dantec virus from a human with encephalitis and Keuriliba virus from rodents, each isolated in Senegal. The Kern Canyon serogroup comprises a loosely connected set of rhabdoviruses many of which have been isolated from bats, including Kern Canyon virus from California, Nkolbisson virus from Cameroon, Central African Republic, and Cote d'Ivoire, Kolente virus from Guinea, Mount Elgon bat and Fikirini viruses from Kenya, and Oita virus from Japan. Fukuoka virus isolated from mosquitoes, midges, and cattle in Japan, Barur virus from a rodent in India and Nishimuro virus from pigs in Japan have also been linked genetically or serologically to this group. Here, we analyze the genome sequences and phylogenetic relationships of this set of viruses. We show that they form three subgroups within a monophyletic group, which we propose should constitute the new genus Ledantevirus.

“…Other causes include the Flaviviridae, a major group of arthropodborne viruses (arboviruses) that involves more than 70 recognized virus members [5][6][7]. Serological antigenic analyses have classified flaviviruses into eight antigenic complexes: West Nile, tick-borne encephalitis (12 serotypes), Rio Bravo (6 serotypes), Japanese encephalitis (10 serotypes), Tyuleniy (3 serotypes), Ntaya (5 serotypes), Uganda S (4 serotypes), dengue (4 serotypes), Modoc (5 serotypes) and other unassigned categories [8,9]. Due to shared antigenic determinants within these viruses, crossreactivities may occur, limiting the specificity of serologic testing.…”

Introduction: Current published reports on the causative agents of acute febrile illness (AFI) in Afghanistan are scarce, and the burden of disease due to flaviviruses is unknown. Methodology: A hospital-based surveillance study for AFI was established in 2008 through 2010 to determine the seroepidemiology of West Nile virus (WNV), tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) and dengue viruses (DENV) using commercial ELISA kits. Due to major logistical challenges, only acute sera were collected. Results: Serological analysis for IgG were as follows: WNV 30.4% (277/913); TBEV 23.4% (214/913); DENV 19.7% (180/913). Single positive IgG reactions for WNV, TBEV and DENV were noted in 11% (100/913), 7.2% (66/913), and 5% (47/913), respectively. Reactivity for all three screened flaviviruses was detected in 44.5% (406/913) of sera. IgM positivity was uncommon, with only 0.5% (5/913), 2.2% (20/913) and 2.6% (8/312) of samples positive for WNV, TBEV, and DENV, respectively. Serological findings were confirmed in random positive samples by neutralization assay. Conclusions: These serological results suggest circulation of WNV, TBEV, and DENV within Afghanistan, with evidence of current or prior infection noted in a significant proportion of patients seeking care for AFI. Obtaining additional information on the prevalence of these and other causes of AFI is paramount for improving the distribution of available limited syndromic treatment and improving the existing health protection policy in Afghanistan.
