Usutu virus, Italy, 1996

Herbert Weissenböck et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2013 Feb.

Abstract

Retrospective analysis of archived tissue samples from bird deaths in the Tuscany region of Italy in 1996 identified Usutu virus. Partial sequencing confirmed identity with the 2001 Vienna strain and provided evidence for a much earlier introduction of this virus into Europe than previously assumed.
