Summary A serosurvey for Tahyna virus ( TAHV ), a mosquito‐borne California encephalitis orthobunyavirus ( Peribunyaviridae ) endemic to Europe, was performed to estimate the activity of TAHV on a broad geographic scale. Sera from wild boar ( Sus scrofa ), roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus ) and red deer ( Cervus elaphus ) were collected from Austria, Hungary and Romania. Samples were tested for neutralizing antibodies against TAHV using a virus microneutralization assay. The results demonstrate that TAHV transmission to mammals is widespread in Europe, particularly in the wild boar population where the mean rate of seroconversion is 15.2%.
