T1 - Sandfly Fever Sicilian Virus, Algeria T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2008 VL - 14 IS - 5 SP - 795 SN - 1080-6059 AB - To determine whether sandfly fever Sicilian virus (SFSV) is present in Algeria, we tested sandflies for phlebovirus RNA. A sequence closely related to that of SFSV was detected in a Phlebotomus ariasi sandfly. Of 60 human serum samples, 3 contained immunoglobulin G against SFSV. These data suggest SFSV is present in Algeria.
