Abstract
The prevalence of antibodies to human parvovirus B19 (anti-B19 IgG) in sera (n = 577) from Sao Tomé and Principe, Malawi and Mascarene Islands (Mauritius and Rodriguez Islands) was determined by antibody capture ELISA. The B19 prevalence was 51.5% on Sao Tomé and Principe, 58.4% in Malawi, and 55.0% on the Mauritius mainland and 2.2% on Rodriguez Island, indicating that B19 virus is highly prevalent not only in Europe, Japan and the Americas but also in the African region. Rodriguez Islands has a very low B19 prevalence.Entities:
