Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Madariaga virus (MADV), formerly known as the South American variant of Eastern Equine Encephalitis virus (EEEV), is an alphavirus that belongs to the Togaviridae family and has been periodically infecting equids in Venezuela since its first identification in 1975. This study reports the isolation and molecular characterization of MADV isolated from a horse in December 2024 in the context of MADV cases reported in Venezuela.
METHODS: Antibodies to the rabies virus were detected by indirect immunofluorescence, and to the Equine Infectious Anemia virus (EIAV) by passive immunodiffusion. MADV RNA was detected by qRT-PCR. The sequence of the complete viral genome was obtained by next-generation sequencing.
RESULTS: The sequence of this virus was highly similar to that of the only human case of MADV reported in the country in 2016, as well as to a sequence of a virus isolated from a horse in Colombia in 2002. The horse was found to be co-infected with EIAV.
CONCLUSIONS: The continuous circulation of MADV in Venezuela warrants reinforcing the preventive measures against these alphaviruses, which ignore borders, and may cause important animal and human health concerns.
