虫媒病毒的出现在世界上的几个地区是一个日益严重的问题。在这里，我们报告一例马亚罗病毒感染的病例，诊断为一名法国公民，在法属圭亚那旅行后表现为登革热样综合征，并伴有长期关节痛。诊断是基于血清学检测，一种新开发的特异性RT-PCR和测序。这种病毒感染在旅行者中的真实发病率鲜为人知，但这是欧洲白纹伊蚊产区首次报告的病例，这突显了确定这种蚊子欧洲毒株对马亚罗病毒的媒介能力的必要性。(C)2016爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
Emergence of arboviruses is a rising problem in several areas in the world. Here we report a case of Mayaro virus infection that was diagnosed in a French citizen presenting a dengue-like syndrome with prolonged arthralgia following a travel in French Guiana. Diagnosis was based on serological testing, a newly developed specific RT-PCR and sequencing.The real incidence of this viral infection among travelers is poorly known but this case is the first reported in a European area where Aedes albopictus mosquitoes are established, which underscores the necessity to determine the vector competence of the European strain of this mosquito species for Mayaro virus.
