Abstract The growing importance of the Usutu virus (USUV) as an emerging zoonotic viral pathogen prompted Poland to investigate the epidemiological status of USUV infections among native bird species. Consequently, thirty-four avian individuals (n = 34) from different geographical parts of the country were confirmed to be USUV-positive in the RT-PCR between July and November 2023. The phylogenetic analysis indicates the first-ever recorded occurrence of the USUV Africa 2 and Africa 3 genetic lineages in Poland.
