This was initially detected by reverse transcription-PCR and was confirmed by virus isolation and by immunohistochemical detection of flavivirus in tissues. Phylogenetic analysis identified Usutu virus African 3.2 lineage, which is prevalent in the Netherlands and Belgium, suggesting a potential incursion from mainland Europe. date: 2020-10-15 date_type: published publisher: European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC) official_url: https://doi.org/10.2807/1560-7917.es.2020.25.41.2001732 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1822848 doi: 10.2807/1560-7917.es.2020.25.41.2001732 lyricists_name: Cunningham, Andrew lyricists_name: Lawson, Becki lyricists_id: AACUN07 lyricists_id: BLAWS62 actors_name: Lawson, Becki actors_id: BLAWS62 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Eurosurveillance volume: 25 number: 41 citation: Folly, AJ; Lawson, B; Lean, FZX; McCracken, F; Spiro, S; John, SK; Heaver, JP; ...
