<div type="abstract" xml:lang="en">
<p>During summer 2007, a total of 785 phlebotomine flies were trapped in northern Algeria, identified morphologically, organised as monospecific pools and tested for the presence of phlebovirus RNA using degenerate primers. Three pools were positive, and the corresponding PCR products were cloned and sequenced. Viral sequences corresponding to two phleboviruses distinct from each other were detected in sandflies circulating in two close locations (140 km apart) in Northern Algeria. The 3 sequences were aligned with homologous polymerase sequences retrieved from the Genbank database, in order to examine their phylogenetic relationships. One viral sequence (from Phlebotomus papatasi) was closely related to but distinct from a sequence obtained from Phlebotomus ariasi sandflies trapped in Algeria in 2006. The two other viral sequences (from Phlebotomus longicuspis) were genetically distantly related to sequences corresponding to virus members of the Sandfly fever Naples virus species and although falling within the same group, this clearly represents a second distinct novel lineage. These results are indicative of a high genetic heterogeneity within sandflies trapped in a relatively small geographic area. Seroprevalence studies conducted on sera from populations living in the same areas indicated that humans can be infected by these viruses.</p>

<abstract>
<p>During summer 2007, a total of 785 phlebotomine flies were trapped in northern Algeria, identified morphologically, organised as monospecific pools and tested for the presence of phlebovirus RNA using degenerate primers. Three pools were positive, and the corresponding PCR products were cloned and sequenced. Viral sequences corresponding to two phleboviruses distinct from each other were detected in sandflies circulating in two close locations (140 km apart) in Northern Algeria. The 3 sequences were aligned with homologous polymerase sequences retrieved from the Genbank database, in order to examine their phylogenetic relationships. One viral sequence (from Phlebotomus papatasi) was closely related to but distinct from a sequence obtained from Phlebotomus ariasi sandflies trapped in Algeria in 2006. The two other viral sequences (from Phlebotomus longicuspis) were genetically distantly related to sequences corresponding to virus members of the Sandfly fever Naples virus species and although falling within the same group, this clearly represents a second distinct novel lineage. These results are indicative of a high genetic heterogeneity within sandflies trapped in a relatively small geographic area. Seroprevalence studies conducted on sera from populations living in the same areas indicated that humans can be infected by these viruses.</p>

<title>INTRODUCTION</title>
<p>Recent field and experimental studies have provided increasing evidence that the number of known viruses in the genus
<italic>Phlebovirus</italic>
(
<italic>Bunyaviridae</italic>
family) may be largely underestimated as suggested by phylogram shape-based analyses [
<xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
-
<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
]. Until recently, sandflies distributed in the old world were known as vectors for few phleboviruses including two known species (
<italic>Sandfly fever Naples virus</italic>
, and
<italic>Salehebad virus</italic>
), and tentative species such as sandfly fever Sicilian virus and Corfou virus.</p>
<p>During the last decade, Toscana virus, a member of the species Sandfly fever Naples virus (SFNV), was increasingly investigated in patients presenting with febrile neurological manifestations (meningitis, encephalitis) during the summer in Mediterranean countries. The focus on Toscana virus occurred in the mid 1990's with several studies from central Italy where this virus was shown to be the most frequent cause of meningitis in central Italy during summertime [
<xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
-
<xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
]. The second event which highlighted Toscana virus was the systematic surveillance initiated in many South-European countries to track West Nile virus after it invaded the United States in 1999 and caused outbreaks in Europe and North Africa [
<xref rid="R7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
,
<xref rid="R8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
]. Surveillance for West Nile virus infections demonstrated that Toscana virus, whose prevalence was also assessed by reference laboratories, (i) was much more prevalent than West Nile virus, (ii) much more prevalent than initially believed, (iii) and circulated and caused human infections in Spain, France, and Portugal, and probably many other countries where sandflies are distributed [
<xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
-
<xref rid="R15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
].</p>
<p>Sandfly fever Sicilian virus (SFSV) is a distinct arthropod-borne phlebovirus transmitted by sandflies, specifically by
<italic>Phlebotomus papatasi </italic>
[
<xref rid="R16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
]. It was discovered in Italy (Palerma, Sicilia) where it affected the troops of the Allied Army Forces after the Sicily landings in 1943 during World War II. Clinical presentation is a febrile illness during the warm season; in contrast with Toscana virus infection, SFSV has not been associated with neurological manifestations. Recently, molecular evidence for the presence of a phlebovirus closely related to Sandfly fever Sicilian virus (SFSV) in Algeria was reported [
<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
].</p>
<p>Recently, the novel Massilia virus, was discovered in sandflies from southeastern France [
<xref rid="R2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
].</p>
<p>Taken together, these recent findings led us to conduct field investigations in Algeria, a North African country where high densities of sandflies have been reported, and where they are associated with cutaneous and visceral leishmaniasis [
<xref rid="R17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>

<xref rid="R18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
].</p>

<title>MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY</title>
<sec>
<title>Sandfly Trapping and Morphological Identification</title>
<p>In July 2007, sandflies were trapped in northern Algeria using previously described methodology [
<xref rid="R14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
]. Trapping was performed at two sites: (i) Larbaa Nath Iraten (previously known as Fort National) in the Kabylian region of Algeria, close to Tizi Ouzou, (ii) and Bou Ismail, in the vicinity of Alger, the capital city. CDC Miniature Light Traps were adapted to sandflies capture by using an ultra-fine mesh. Traps were placed between one and two meters above the ground. They were set during the late afternoon in the vicinity of or in animal housing facilities (sheep, goats, rabbits, chicken). Each morning, sandflies were collected, identified morphologically, and placed in 1.5mL microfuge tubes. They were organized in monospecific pools according to sex and trapping area, each pool containing up to 30 entire sandflies. Pools were individually ground in RNA Now, a chaotropic solution containing guanidinium thiocyanate (Ozyme, Montigny Le Bretonneux, France) due to a lack of dry ice or liquid nitrogen for preservation.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Virology and Phylogenetic Analysis</title>
<p>RNA Now-based viral RNA purification was conducted according to the manufacturer's protocol (Ozyme). A total of 10 µL of RNA was used for RT-PCR in a final volume of 50 µL as previously described [
<xref rid="R19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
]. RT-PCR reactions were performed using the Access RT-PCR System kit (Promega France, Charbonnières). Positive PCR products of the expected size were gel-purified, cloned and sequenced in both directions. Resulting sequences were aligned together with homologous sequences of selected members of the genus
<italic>Phlebovirus</italic>
retrieved from Genbank. Genbank accession numbers are shown in Fig. (
<bold>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>
</bold>
). Sequences obtained in this study were compiled with those from Genbank to perform genetic distance comparison and phylogenetic analysis. Distance matrices were calculated for each novel sequence independently. Pairwise distance and groupings were determined
<italic>via </italic>
neighbor-joining method within the MEGA 4.0 software program [
<xref rid="R20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
]. The robustness of the groupings was tested by using 1000 bootstrap pseudoreplications. Due to the preservation technique, it was impossible to attempt virus isolation on cell culture.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Human Sera</title>
<p>Two series of human sera were available for seroprevalence studies: (i) 60 samples from healthy persons living in Kabylia in the vicinity of the area where sandflies were trapped, (ii) 104 samples from patients living in the city of Alger who presented at a private biological laboratory for reasons not specifically related to febrile illness.</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>Serology</title>
<p>Immunoglobulin (Ig) G and M were detected by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) assay as previously described [
<xref rid="R21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
] with minor modifications. Briefly, equal amounts of infected and uninfected Vero cells were mixed together and spotted onto 2-well glass slides through a 3-min cytospin-based centrifugation at 900 rpm. Samples were tested at 1:20 dilution in phosphate-buffered saline. The presence of uninfected Vero cells allowed to detect non specific fluorescence (all cells were fluorescent). Sera were tested by IgG and IgM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with the Toscana virus - Enzywell Toscana virus (recombinant nucleoprotein) IgG and IgM - DIESSE Diagnostica Senese S.p.A, (Siena, Italy) using the protocol recommended by the manufacturer. A serum was considered positive in either IgG or IgM if both ELISA and IIF were positive.</p>

<sec sec-type="results">
<title>RESULTS</title>
<p>The two trapping sites are shown in Fig. (
<bold>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>
</bold>
). A total of 785 sandflies were trapped, processed individually for morphological identification, organized into 40 pools, and used for viral RNA detection (Table
<bold>
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref>
</bold>
). A total of 3 pools tested positive with nested primers NPhlebo2+ / NPhlebo2-. A 201-nt sequence (excluding primers) was obtained. These 3 sequences were deposited in Genbank with accession numbers GU183867-183869. Nucleotide and amino acid distances are presented in Table
<bold>
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">2</xref>
</bold>
. The two sequences obtained from
<italic>Phlebotomus longicuspis</italic>
were most closely related to the Poona strain of SFNV, and clearly belonged to the species SFNV, with an amino acid and nucleotide distance comprised between 9 to 37.3% and 1 to 34.8% respectively. The sequence determined from
<italic>Phlebotomus papatasi</italic>
was most closely related to Cyprus virus and not to the SFSV-like phlebovirus previously discovered in Algeria in 2006. However, these 4 sequences formed a cluster together with the sequence of the prototype Sabin strain of SFSV, with pairwise amino acid and nucleotide distances lower than 6% and 20%, respectively.</p>
<p>The two seroprevalence studies indicated that the presence of IgG specific of SFNV or SFN-like virus was observed at rates of 10.6% (11/104 sera) and 21.6% (13/60 sera) originating from Bou Ismail and Larbaa Nath Iraten areas, respectively. In the Bou Ismail subset, the mean age of seropositives was 49 while the mean age of the total population was 37.</p>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="discussion">
<title>DISCUSSION</title>
<p>Recent investigations of sandfly-transmitted phleboviruses have indicated that virus diversity within the Mediterranean is higher than initially suspected, and that local populations have a high risk of infection during their lifetime [
<xref rid="R2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
,
<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
,
<xref rid="R14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
,
<xref rid="R22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>
-
<xref rid="R24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>
]. These recent data suggest that sandfly associated viral infections may also be a concern for public health in regions located south of the Mediterranean, where high densities of sandflies are reported. For these reasons, we decided to conduct investigations based on a transversal approach involving at first a combination of entomological and virological studies, and seroprevalence studies on populations living in the area where sandflies were trapped. A total of one and two pools were found to contain SFS- and SFN-like virus RNA, respectively. Human infection due to these viruses was supported by seroprevalence studies indicating rates varying from 5% for SFS-like virus [
<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
] and 10.6-21.6% for SFN-like virus (this study). The new SFS-like virus was detected in Phlebotomus papatasi and showed to be closely related to, but distinct from, SFSV previously detected in Phlebotomus ariasi from Algeria [
<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
], and from Cyprus virus isolated from humans [
<xref rid="R23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
-
<xref rid="R25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
].</p>
<p>Since detection of viral sequences could not be confirmed through virus isolation, it is necessary to address the question of potential contamination. Concerning the two SFN-like phleboviruses, the sequences are genetically sufficiently distinct from other sequences determined in our unit during the last 3 years (underlined in the Fig.
<bold>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>
</bold>
) to exclude laboratory contamination. Moreover, the genetic variation inside the Sandfly fever Naples group is much larger than determined in our previous study [
<xref rid="R2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
]. Based on the polymerase gene, the genetic distance between this newly discovered strain of Sandfly fever Naples in Algeria and Massilia virus is 37.3% and 34.3% for amino acids and nucleotide data respectively. The novel SFSV-like sequence obtained in this study from the
<italic>Phlebotomus papatasi</italic>
pool is genetically divergent at 4 nt sites and 4 AA sites from sequences previously determined from a pool of
<italic>Phlebotomus</italic>
<italic>patatasi</italic>
in our laboratory in 2007 [
<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
] and at 2 nt sites and 2 AA sites from Sandfly fever Sicilian strain Sabin. Furthermore, detailed analysis of the relevant chromatograms supports this clear divergence.</p>
<sec>
<title>SFSV and SFS-Like Viruses</title>
<p>Human cases of SFSV infection have been reported from Italy, Egypt, Pakistan, Iran and Cyprus [
<xref rid="R16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
,
<xref rid="R23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
]. Seroprevalence studies performed with human or vertebrate sera indicates that SFSV, or a closely related one, is circulating in Jordan [
<xref rid="R26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>
], Israel [
<xref rid="R27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>
], Sudan [
<xref rid="R28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>
], Tunisia [
<xref rid="R29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>
], Pakistan [
<xref rid="R30" ref-type="bibr">30</xref>
], Egypt [
<xref rid="R31" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>
], Bangladesh [
<xref rid="R32" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>
], Iran [
<xref rid="R33" ref-type="bibr">33</xref>
]. At the outset of this study, the most comprehensive serological study did not detect the presence of neutralizing antibodies reactive to SFSV in human sera of Algerian populations of Tamanrasset and Djanet [
<xref rid="R34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>
]. However, these two areas are located at the southern border of Algeria in arid environment. Detection of SFS-like RNA in this study corroborates previous findings concerning the presence of a new phlebovirus closely related to but distinct from SFSV and Cyprus virus. It is likely that the Algerian SFS-like virus infects humans according to serology results previously reported [
<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
].</p>
</sec>
<sec>
<title>SFNV and SFN-Like Viruses</title>
<p>Human cases of SFNV, mostly caused by Toscana virus, based on virus isolation and/or molecular evidence have been reported from North Mediterranean counties [
<xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
,
<xref rid="R13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>

<xref rid="R15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>

,
<xref rid="R35" ref-type="bibr">35</xref>
-
<xref rid="R38" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>
]. The original Naples virus was identified for the last time in 1985 in Egypt from a human specimen [
<xref rid="R39" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>
]. For the last two decades, Toscana virus was the only genotype of the SFNV species to have been detected and/or isolated in relation to human cases [
<xref rid="R22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>
]. Seroprevalence studies performed with human sera indicate that SFNV, or a closely related virus, is circulating in Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, Morocco, Greece, former Yugoslavia, Turkey, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, former USSR [Moldavia, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan], Pakistan and Bangladesh [
<xref rid="R34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>
]. More recently, seroprevalence studies indicated that Toscana virus, or an antigenically closely-related virus, circulates in Spain [
<xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
], France [
<xref rid="R40" ref-type="bibr">40</xref>
], Italy [
<xref rid="R38" ref-type="bibr">38</xref>
,
<xref rid="R41" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>
], and Cyprus [
<xref rid="R42" ref-type="bibr">42</xref>
]. In contrast, low prevalence of antibody was observed in Germany [
<xref rid="R43" ref-type="bibr">43</xref>
]. The most comprehensive serological study did not detect the presence of neutralizing antibodies reactive to SFNV or SFN-like virus in human sera of Algerian populations of Tamanrasset and Djanet [
<xref rid="R34" ref-type="bibr">34</xref>
]. Therefore, at the outset of this study, there was neither molecular evidence nor serology-based data suggesting the presence of SFNV in Algeria. To our knowledge, this is the first time (i) that SFN-like virus has been detected in Algeria, (ii) and that indirect evidence

seroprevalence studies, is reported. Discrepancy between the mean age of the tested population and that of seropositive individuals is indicative that the longer the exposure, the higher the risk of getting infected by SFNV or SFN-like virus.</p>
<p>Together, molecular and serological data provided here constitute evidence that novel phleboviruses distinct from but related to SFSV and SFNV are present in Algeria, and can infect humans.</p>
