Epidemiological analysis of mosquito-borne Pogosta disease in Finland, 2009
Abstract
Pogosta disease is a viral disease caused by a mosquito-borne alphavirus, Sindbis virus (SINV), and large human outbreaks of SINV infection have emerged in Finland every seven years. After a major outbreak in 2002 an epidemic was expected to take place in 2009. Data from the National Infectious Disease Registry showed a small outbreak in humans in 2009 with a total of 105 reported cases but the seven-year cycle did not recur as anticipated.
