Article Synopsis
- Eight phleboviruses transmitted by sandflies have been identified in North Africa, with an infection rate of 0.02-0.6% among the virus-carrying sandfly species.
- Seroprevalence studies show low rates of Toscana virus (TOSV) in dogs from Algeria and Tunisia, while Sandfly Fever Sicilian virus (SFSV) and Punique virus (PUNV) have higher rates in Tunisia.
- Among humans, TOSV and SFSV are the most prevalent, with TOSV confirmed in Algeria and Tunisia, while other phleboviruses have been detected to a lesser extent, indicating a need for further research into their epidemiology.

Electronic address:
Toscana virus (TOSV) is major meningitis and meningoencephalitis agent in the Mediterranean basin. Dogs are frequently exposed to TOSV; thereby they can contribute to estimating its circulation. In Algeria, little is known about its circulation, and available data are restricted to the Kabylian region.
