Investigations on the presence of antibodies to several flaviviruses in humans and some domestic animals in a biotope with a high frequency of migratory birds.

Data are reported on the presence of HAI antibodies to several flaviviruses (tick-borne encephalitis, West Nile, and Ntaya viruses) in humans and some domestic animals in a biotope with a high frequency of migratory birds. The results obtained prove the presence in humans of specific antibodies in a proportion of 11.8% to tick-borne encephalitis and of 25.5% to West Nile and Ntaya antigens. Among domestic animals it was only possible to detect antibodies to West Nile (4.9% in sheep, 4.1% in cattle, and 12% in goats) and to Ntaya antigens (1.9% in sheep, 1.6% in cattle, 8% in goats, and 13.9% in swine).

Investigations on the presence of antibodies to several alphaviruses in humans and domestic animals of a region with elevated epidemiological potential.

The paper reports on serological results obtained by HAI tests against several alphaviruses - eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), western equine encephalitis (WEE), Chikungunya, Midlebourg, Semliki Forest, Sindbis, and Ilheus viruses - carried out in humans and some domestic animals in a region with an intensive circulation of migratory birds. It was possible to detect in human antibodies to EEE, WEE, and Sindbis viruses, but in very low proportions (1.8%, 0.4%, and 0.6%, respectively). Serological results obtained in animals were practically negative: antibodies to EEE virus were found only in one out of 93 horses investigated.

Investigations on the presence of hemagglutination-inhibiting antibodies to dengue virus in apparently healthy subjects of several counties in Romania.

The presence of hemagglutination-inhibiting (HAI) antibodies to dengue virus, types 1, 2, and 3 was studied in 1219 apparently healthy subjects of four counties in Romania. The proportion of positive reactions was of 0.40% to type 1, of 1.23% to type 2, and of 3.90% to type 3. Antibody proportion was different from one county to another.
