“…Subsequently, between 2002 and 2005, six more cases of TOSV were diagnosed, using molecular methods, in Portuguese patients with meningitis attending hospitals in the metropolitan area of Oporto, in the north of Portugal, but no genomic sequences were reported [100]. In a follow-up study, a seroprevalence of 3.9% (IgG) was found in 334 sera samples randomly collected from individuals who sought care in the hospitals in the same region [101].…”

According to ICTV, there are currently 66 known phlebovirus species. More than 40 of these viruses were isolated or detected in phlebotomine sandflies and some of them are known pathogens. In Portugal, information about sandfly-borne phleboviruses is scarce and scattered sandfly-borne diseases are neglected and often not considered in differential diagnoses. The main objective of this work was to gather the existing information and to raise awareness about the circulating phleboviruses in this country. To date, Massilia and Alcube phleboviruses have been isolated from sandflies in southern Portugal. Human infections with Toscana and Sicilian phleboviruses have been reported, as well as seroprevalence in cats and dogs. More studies are needed in order to understand if the viruses isolated during the entomological surveys have an impact on human health and to fully understand the real importance of the already recognized pathogens in our country.
