Article Synopsis
- In November 2023, five newborns with fever and suspected human parechovirus (PEV-A) infection were studied, and PEV-A positivity was confirmed through advanced testing methods.
- Metagenomic sequencing and amplicon-based whole genome sequencing revealed that the infections were caused by PEV-A genotype 3 (PEV-A3), with all analyzed samples showing identical consensus sequences.
- The study indicated the presence of at least two viral quasispecies and suggested that the cluster of cases was microbiologically related, contributing valuable data for understanding PEV-A3's evolution and pathogenicity.
(1) Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an emerging tick-borne disease endemic in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Balkan and Mediterranean regions of Europe. Although no human CCHF cases have been reported, based on vector presence, serological evidence among small vertebrates, and the general human population, Hungary lies within high evidence consensus for potential CCHF introduction and future human infection. Thus, the aim of our pilot serosurvey was to assess CCHF seropositivity among cattle and sheep as indicator animals for virus circulation in the country.
