Abstract
Shuni virus is associated with neurologic and febrile illness
in animals and humans. To determine potential
vectors, we collected mosquitoes in South Africa and
detected the virus in species of the genera Mansonia,
Culex, Aedes, and Anopheles. These mosquitoes may
be associated with Shuni virus outbreaks in Africa and
emergence in other regions.
