Aim. A study of the prevalence of West Nile virus (WNV) genetic lineages and genovariants in the south of European Russia between 2010 and 2019.Materials and methods. The study was carried out on 311 WNV containing biological samples from patients, vectors and reservoirs of infection. WNV typing was carried out using reverse transcription and real-time polymerase chain reaction with designed three pairs of primers and three probes and by the sequencing of the 277 bp WNV genome region correspondi
