title = "Usutu Virus Africa 3 Lineage, Luxembourg, 2020",
abstract = "We detected Usutu virus in a dead Eurasian blackbird (Turdus merula) in Luxembourg in September 2020. The strain clustered within the Africa 3.1 lineage identified in Western Europe since 2016. Our results suggest maintenance of the virus in Europe despite little reporting during 2019-2020, rather than a new introduction.",
