Virus Zapadnog Nila (West Nile virus-WNV) je izolovan 1937. godine u West Nile
distrihtu u Ugandi, po čemu je i dobio ime. Pripada familiji Flaviviridae i rodu
Flavivirus. Prenosi se putem insekata-komaraca pa se svrstava u grupu Arbovirusa, a
ptice predstavljaju prave domaćine i rezervoare virusa u prirodi. Čovek i sisari su
slučajni domaćini koji obolevaju sa kliničkom slikom neuroinvazivnog oboljenja.
Brojne epidemije koje je izazvao su bile praćene velikim brojem obolelih ljudi i
životinja i materijalnim štetama. Serološka laboratorijska dijagnostika infekcije WNV je
složena zbog unakrsnih reakcija sa drugim virusima iz iste familije (Japanski encefalitis,
krpeljski encefalitis, Usutu i dr.), ali i odabira dijagnostičkog metoda koji će dati
najoptimalnije rezultate.
Cilj istraživanja je bio da se pripreme „in house“ testovi (AGID, IFA i ELISA) za
serološku dijagnostiku WNV i da se uporede dobijeni rezultati „in house“ testova sa
rezultatima dobijenih primenom komercijalno dostupnih... testova u cilјu određivanja
osetlјivosti i specifičnosti upotreblјenih testova radi utvrđivanja koji od primenjenih
testova su najpogodniji za otkrivanje infekcije WNV. Primenom pomenutih testova
utvrđena je seroprevalencija u populacijama ispitivanih vrsta (konji, lјudi, psi) na
odabranim lokalitetima Republike Srbije, što omogućava mapiranje ugroženih područja
i definisanje mera kontrole i suzbijanja infekcije.
Ispitano je ukupno 153 krvna seruma ljudi, 303 krvna seruma konja i 184 krvna
seruma pasa. Uzorci su prikupljeni u periodu od 2011.-2013. godine na ukupno 15
različitih lokaliteta- regiona Republike Srbije. Ustanovljena seroprevalencija je varirala
u odnosu na lokalitet sa većom vrednošću u regionima u slivu Save i Dunava.
Pripremljena su tri „in house“ testa (AGID, IFA i ELISA), a rezultati testova su
upoređeni sa rezultatima komercijalno dostupnih testova. Statističkim poređenjem
primenom McNemarove metode nisu utvrđene statistički značajne razlike između „in
house“ IFA testa i komercijalno dostupnog testa na uzorcima poreklom od ljudi i konja...
West Nile virus (WNV) was discovered in West Nile district of Uganda in 1937., and
named after place of discovery. It is classified in fam. Flaviviridae and genus
Flavivirus. WNV is transmitted via insects-mosquitos and it is a member of Arbovirus
group. Birds are true hosts and reservoirs of virus in nature. Humans and other
mammals are accidental hosts showing clinical signs of neuroinvasive disease.
Numerous epidemics caused by WNV were followed by large number of affected
people and animals and significant economical loses. Serological laboratory diagnostics
is difficult due to cross reactions with other viruses from the same family (Japanese
encephalitis virus, tick born encephalitis virus, Usutu etc), and right choice of diagnostic
method which would give the most satisfactory results.
The goal of research was to prepare „in house“ tests (AGID, IFA and ELISA) for
serological diagnostics of WNV, to compare the obtained results of „in house“ and
commercially available test in order... to determinate sensitivity and specificity of „in
house“ tests and the most satisfactory tests in diagnostic of WNV infection. The
seroprevalence was determined by use of prepared and available test in populations of
horse, dog and human in investigated chosen regions of the Republic of Serbia, which
enabled the mapping of endangered areas and definition of control and eradication
measures.
Total of 153 human blood sera, 303 horse sera and 184 dog sera were collected in
period from 2011. to 2013. in 15 different localities of the Republic of Serbia.
Determined seroprevalence varies in localities with higher value in localities near Sava
and Danube river. Three „in house“ test were made (AGID, IFA and ELISA) and the
results were compared to results of commercially available test by use of McNemar test.
The statistically significant differences were not established between „in house“ and
commercial IFA test in horse and human samples. The use of IFA tests was not possible
in dogs due to unspecific reaction...
