Abstract
In order to estimate the antibody prevalence rates for Toscana virus (TOSV) among children and adults, we evaluated the seroprevalence of TOSV in a population (n = 2,737) living in Tuscany during the period of 1999 to 2006. The seroprevalence rate was 19.8% in adults and 5.8% in children, showing an age-dependent increase in TOSV-specific immunity. Meningitis due to TOSV infection was more frequent in adults than in children.Entities:
