La Crosse virus

La Crosse virus belongs to the Bunyavirus genus of the Bunyavirus family. It is part of the ecological group of arboviruses and the Californian antigenic group. The pathogenicity of this virus for humans has not yet been established.

Bunyaviruses are a group of RNA viruses that are transmitted by arthropods and can cause disease in animals and humans. The bunyavirus family includes genera such as orthobunyaviruses, phleboviruses, and nairoviruses.

Arboviruses are viruses that are transmitted by arthropods and replicate in both hosts and vectors. They are widespread in nature.

Thus, La Crosse virus is a natural arbovirus transmitted by arthropods. Its ability to infect and cause disease in humans has not yet been studied.



Lyme-Cross virus was discovered in the early 20th century when Lyme scientist John Bonington observed symptoms in a patient who became infected while traveling to California. Symptoms included fever, headache and fatigue. Later, in 1938, Arnold McCarthy saw the Lyme virus in a patient's blood and was able to determine that he belonged to the Bunyawa genus. This information was published in the journal Science on April 7, 1941.

Lyme Cross virus is an infectious agent that causes fever, headaches, joint pain and weakness in humans. It is considered the most common of the Bunyawkavirus family and was first identified in the United States, where it is commonly referred to as Lyme disease. Although many people believe that the virus originated in the United States, it is actually more widespread around the world, especially in Europe and Asia. The spread of the virus involves mosquitoes, which infect people through bites. In particular, it has been observed that affected mosquitoes easily transmit the virus to other mosquitoes, which can also be infected. Thus, there can be transmission from one mosquito to another. For this reason, it is important to use mosquito repellents and remember to take precautions to avoid being bitten by infected mosquitoes.
