Minimum Infection Rate

RNA of Kyzylagach virus (KYZV), a Sindbis-like mosquito-borne alphavirus from Western equine encephalitis virus complex, was detected in four pools (out of 221 pools examined), encompassing 10,784 female Culex modestus mosquitoes collected at a fishpond in south Moravia, Czech Republic, with a minimum infection rate of 0.04%. This alphavirus was never detected in Central Europe before.

Western Equine Encephalitis

The Mongolian gerbil (Meriones unguiculatus) was highly susceptible to peripheral infection with Western equine encephalitis virus. Small doses of virus ranging from 0.1 to 10 intracerebral 3-week-old mouse LD50 which induced no clinical response in 3-week-old mice when inoculated subcutaneously, caused death in 4-week-old gerbils. At this age, a standard dose of virus produced uniform viremia patterns between individuals. Peak virus concentration approaching 105.0 intracerebral 3-week-old mouse LD50 per 0.03 milliliter of blood, was attained at 48 h post inoculation. Resistance to infection increased with age but 10-week old gerbils remained susceptible and exhibited marked clinical signs of encephalitis during the course of infection. Brains from animals, which died within 10 days of infection, yielded large amounts of virus.
