Birds as a risk factor for arboviruses in Buenos Aires Province

St. Louis Encephalitis and West Nile viruses are arboviruses maintained in an enzootic cycle among birds by mosquitoes of the genus Culex. Both diseases have been reported in humans and evidence of infection have been identified in birds and horses in temperate Argentina. To advance in risk estimati...

Carbajo, Anibal E. Buenos Aires arbovirus, virus de la Encefalitis de San Luis virus del Oeste del Nilo Aves Argentinas eBird St. Louis Encephalitis and West Nile viruses are arboviruses maintained in an enzootic cycle among birds by mosquitoes of the genus Culex. Both diseases have been reported in humans and evidence of infection have been identified in birds and horses in temperate Argentina. To advance in risk estimation, a bibliographic review of all published works in the country was carried out in order to know the potential host (only antibodies) and competent (able to amplify the virus) bird species. Then, the geographic distribution of bird species involved in their transmission cycles was characterized in Buenos Aires Province at two spatial scales: coarse grain potential host bird species occurrence maps for each virus (input Aves Argentinas), and fine grain density and percentage maps for each competent species (input eBird). The number of potential host bird species was higher in the northeast and southwest of the province for both viruses. Fine grain maps showed similar distribution and density patterns for all competent species, with maximums in the northeast and southeast, being Eared Dove the species with the highest density and percentage of sightings. Human cases records generally matched with high values areas in coarse grain maps and with high percentage cells in Eared Dove and House Sparrow fine grain maps. These results are a novel input for the elaboration of transmission risk maps and vigilance of these arbovirosis. Los virus de la Encefalitis de San Luis y del Oeste del Nilo son arbovirus que se mantienen en un ciclo enzoótico entre aves por mosquitos del género Culex. En la Argentina templada, ambas enfermedades han sido reportadas en humanos y se han registrado evidencias de infección en aves y caballos. Para avanzar en la estimación del riesgo, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de todos los trabajos publicados en el país para conocer las especies de aves potencialmente hospedadoras (sólo anticuerpos) y competentes (capaces de amplificar el virus). Luego, la distribución geográfica de las especies de aves implicadas en sus ciclos de transmisión fue caracterizada en la provincia de Buenos Aires a 2 escalas espaciales: mapas de ocurrencia de especies de aves potencialmente hospedadoras para cada virus a grano grueso (fuente Aves Argentinas), y mapas de densidad y porcentaje para cada especie competente a grano fino (fuente eBird). El número de especies de aves potencialmente hospedadoras fue mayor en el noreste y sudoeste de la provincia para ambos virus. Los mapas de grano fino mostraron patrones de distribución y densidad similares, con máximos en el noreste y sudeste, siendo la torcaza la especie con mayor densidad y porcentaje de avistamientos. Los registros de casos humanos coincidieron en general con las áreas de valores altos en los mapas de grano grueso y con las celdas con alto porcentaje en los mapas de grano fino de torcaza y gorrión. Estos resultados son un primer aporte para la estimación del riesgo de transmisión y vigilancia de estas arbovirosis.
