title: No Evidence of Gouléako and Herbert Virus Infections in Pigs, Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana.
abstract: A recent report suggested that 2 novel bunyaviruses discovered in insects in Côte d'Ivoire caused lethal disease in swine in South Korea. We conducted cell culture studies and tested serum from pigs exposed to mosquitoes in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana and found no evidence for infection in pigs.
