Description
María José Ruiz-López and co-authors reported in 2023 the re-emergence in southern Spain of a West Nile virus variant with fast spread capacity. The mosquito-borne virus has grown across Europe and worries health officials. Spain knew local circulation for decades, but cases stayed scarce until a large 2020 outbreak, and new cases have come every year since.
Tracking which variants circulate is the way to follow the virus's evolution and movement. The team sequenced full virus genomes from mosquito pools caught in 2022 under a new surveillance program in the south. The head byline is long, so the work is framed by its lead author. Readers get a genomic snapshot of a returning variant, and a baseline for judging how fast it moves next season.
