Isolation of Bhanja virus in Romania.
The presence of Bhanja virus was notified for the first time in our country in 1986, by the serological study performed on human and domestic animals sera. In 1988 four Bhanja virus strains from Dermacentor ticks were isolated in Alba and Caraş-Severin counties. A high percent of domestic animals, originating in this region, presents antibodies to the isolated strains and also to Bhanja virus reference strain.
