Resumen:
Infection by Bunyamwera virus (BUNV) species (Family Bunyaviridae, Genus Orthobunyavirus)
has been detected in ewes, goats, cows, horses and humans all the way through
America. However, there are no evidences of such infection in birds. To detect BUNV
(CbaAr-426) infection in free ranging birds, a serological survey was carried out in Co´ rdoba
city between 2004 and 2005. Birds of 13 families presented neutralizing antibodies against
BUNV (CbaAr-426), showing an increase in the seroprevalence from 6.6% to 13.8% between
2004 and 2005, respectively. Seroconversion for BUNV (CbaAr-426) was detected in Rufus
hornero (Furnarius rufus) in JanuaryFebruary of 2005. This is the first evidence of natural
infection by BUNV (CbaAr-426) in free ranging birds. The seroconversion level
demonstrated active circulation of BUNV (CbaAr 426) in Co´ rdoba city.Bunyamwera virus (BUNV) species (Family Bunyaviridae, Genus Orthobunyavirus)
