ABSTRACT

Introducción: las primeras infecciones por el virus del Nilo Occidental en Cuba se reportaron en 2004. Objetivo: monitorear y conocer la prevalencia del virus del Nilo Occidental en áreas con casos confirmados de este. Métodos: el estudio se llevó a cabo en la municipalidad de Jatibonico y en la ciudad de Sancti Spiritus. Un total de 14 personas, 8 caballos y 41 aves se estudiaron para la detección de anticuerpos a flavivirus y específicos al virus del Nilo Occidental. Resultados: se confirmó la presencia de anticuerpos específicos a virus del Nilo Occidental en 4 muestras de suero de aves y 4 de caballos. Una persona se confirmó como 1 caso de infección por virus del Nilo Occidental asintomático. Conclusiones: la presencia de anticuerpos específicos al virus del Nilo Occidental en aves residentes, caballos y humanos en áreas con casos confirmados demuestran el establecimiento de un ciclo de amplificación local establecido en Cuba antes de este estudio(AU)


Introduction: First infected cases caused by West Nile virus were reported in Cuba in 2004. Objective: to monitor and learn about the prevalence of the West Nile virus in those areas with confirmed cases. Methods: the study was conducted in Jatibonico municipality and in the city of Sancti Spiritus. A total number of 14 persons, 8 horses and 41 birds were researched to detect antibodies to flavivirus and specific antibodies to West Nile virus. Results: the presence of specific antibodies to West Nile virus was confirmed in 4 samples of sera from birds and in 4 from horses. One person was confirmed as one case of asymptomatic West Nile virus infection. Conclusions: the presence of specific antibodies to West Nile virus in birds, horses and persons residing in areas where there are confirmed cases showed that a local amplification cycle had been established in Cuba before this study(AU)
