Keystone orthobunyavirus

Keystone virus (Keystone orthobunyavirus)[1] is a mosquito-borne virus which can infect mammals. It was first discovered in animals in the Florida area, where it is spread in part by local species of Aedes mosquitoes. In 1964, a case of human infection, producing minor symptoms of a rash and fever, was circumstantially diagnosed.[2] Conclusive laboratory demonstration of the virus in humans was first obtained and reported in 2018.[3]
