title: Prevalence of antibodies to phleboviruses and flaviviruses in Peja, Kosovo.
abstract: In order to investigate the current and past activity of phlebovirus and flavivirus in Kosovo, a seroprevalence study among 200 blood donors was performed. Positive results were obtained for the phleboviruses TOSV and SFNV, and for a flavivirus of the Japanese Encephalitis group. No positive results for TBEV were observed.
