Alessandro Bartoloni et al. J Med Virol. 2019 Jan.

Abstract

To determine the seroprevalence of antibodies against dengue virus (DENV) and West Nile virus (WNV) in the human population of the Bolivian Chaco, we tested 256 inhabitants of two rural communities. The seroprevalence, confirmed by plaque reduction neutralization test, was 7.8% and 2.7% for DENV and WNV, respectively.

Keywords: Americas; Bolivia; Latin America; West Nile virus; dengue virus; flavivirus.
