dc.descriptionThis study was supported by the US National Biological Information Infrastructure, the GAINS program of the Wildlife Conservation Society, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, grants FIS PI07/1308 of the Red de Investigacion de Centros de Enfermedaes Tropicales RD06/0021, and the agreement signed between the Institute of Health Carlos III and the Spanish Ministry of Health and Social Policy for the surveillance of imported viral hemorrhagic fevers. Influenza work was supported by grant GR09/0040 (MPY-1440/09) ISCIII. RW is supported by grant CGL2010-15734/BOS, Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación, Spain.
dc.description.abstractTissue and swab samples from 551 wild birds collected in Ghana (October-November 2007) were assayed for alphaviruses, flaviviruses, and influenza A viruses using polymerase chain (PCR) techniques. One pool sample tested positive for Flavivirus RNA; further testing revealed that the amplified sequence was Yaoundé virus (YAOV), or closely related to it. YAOV is an apparently rare Flavivirus closely related to medically important human pathogens Japanese Encephalitis virus and West Nile virus. It is known only from West Africa. This is the first detection from Ghana, and only the second detection from a bird. Samples were negative for alphaviruses and Influenza A virus.
