In order to estimate the antibody prevalence rates for Toscana virus (TOSV) among children and adults, we evaluated the seroprevalence of TOSV in a population (n = 2,737) living in Tuscany during the period of 1999 to 2006. The seroprevalence rate was 19.8% in adults and 5.8% in children, showing an age-dependent increase in TOSV-specific immunity. Meningitis due to TOSV infection was more frequent in adults than in children. Copyright © 2009, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved.

Abstract
In order to estimate the antibody prevalence rates for Toscana virus (TOSV) among children and adults, we evaluated the seroprevalence of TOSV in a population (n = 2,737) living in Tuscany during the period of 1999 to 2006. The seroprevalence rate was 19.8% in adults and 5.8% in children, showing an age-dependent increase in TOSV-specific immunity. Meningitis due to TOSV infection was more frequent in adults than in children. Copyright © 2009, American Society for Microbiology. All Rights Reserved.
