Alkan, Çiğdem; Bichaud, Laurence; de Lamballerie, Xavier; Alten, Bülent; Gould, Ernest A.; Charrel, Remi N. (Elsevier, 2013)

Sandfly-borne phleboviruses may cause a transient febrile illness (sandfly fever) or more severe neuroinvasive disease. In the Old World, they are vectored by phlebotomine flies, which are widely distributed in the ...

Sandfly-Borne Phlebovirus Isolations From Turkey: New Insight Into the Sandfly Fever Sicilian and Sandfly Fever Naples Species
