Spondweni Virus in Field-Caught Culex quinquefasciatus Mosquitoes, Haiti, 2016.

ABSTRACT: Spondweni virus (SPONV) and Zika virus cause similar diseases in humans. We detected SPONV outside of Africa from a pool of Culex mosquitoes collected in Haiti in 2016. This finding raises questions about the role of SPONV as a human pathogen in Haiti and other Caribbean countries.
