Genetic characterization of West Nile virus lineage 2, Greece, 2010.
TL;DR: The West Nile virus detected in Culex pipiens mosquitoes during a severe outbreak of human West Nile disease in Greece 2010 showed closest genetic relationship to the lineage 2 strain that emerged in Hungary in 2004.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of West Nile virus lineage 2 in mosquitoes during a human outbreak in Greece
TL;DR: The Greek strain showed the highest homology to Hungarian and South African strains, differing from the Russian WNV lineage 2 strain, which suggests that at least two lineage 2 strains have been introduced and established in Europe, causing severe disease to humans.

TL;DR: This is the first reported outbreak in the northwestern United States associated with this carbapenemase, and particularly worrisome is that blaOXA-237 was carried on a plasmid and found in the most prominent worldwide clonal group IC2, potentially giving pORAB01-3 great capacity for future widespread dissemination.
Journal ArticleDOI
West Nile virus in mosquitoes in Greece.
TL;DR: The H249P substitution in the NS3 protein, previously associated with increased pathogenicity and thermotolerance, was detected in all six WNV-positive mosquito pools.
