West Nile virus strain replacement in mosquito vector populations in 2015-2016 in south-eastern Romania
West Nile virus (WNV) is endemic in Romania. Since 2011, the circulation of lineage 2 WNV Volgograd 2007-like strains was recorded in mosquito populations and in humans from Romania. Starting 2015, this cluster of strains has been replaced in vector population by strains similar to the Nea-Santa 2010 epidemic strain.
