Disease relevance of Sandfly fever Naples virus

Sera from patients with sandfly fever caused by Toscana virus (TOSV) infection were tested by immunoblot for specific antibody response to TOSV derived from infected Vero-E6 cells [1].

High impact information on Sandfly fever Naples virus

The envelope glycoproteins G1/G2 of Toscana virus (TOSV) seem to have the most important protective role in stimulating antibodies against the disease in humans, as well as antibodies against the Nucleoprotein (N), a partial neutralizing activity [2].
RECENT FINDINGS: Diagnosis of Toscana virus infection has been facilitated by new molecular methods and by immunoenzymatic tests based on the recombinant nucleoprotein [3].
