Wild bird carcasses were collected through passive monitoring of wild bird mortality. In necropsy, brain samples were taken from dead wild birds in 2010, 2011 and 2012. Samples were used for detection of West Nile virus by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). No WNV nucleic acid was detected by RT-PCR. In the light of the data presented there is no evidence of wild bird mor...
متن کاملWest Nile Virus Antibodies in Wild Birds, Morocco, 2008
To determine circulation of West Nile virus (WNV) during nonepidemic times, we serosurveyed wild birds of Morocco in 2008. We found antibodies against WNV in 12 (3.5%) birds, against Usutu virus in 1 (0.3%), and against both in 2 (0.6%). High WNV prevalence among juvenile birds suggests local virus circulation among resident birds.
متن کاملExperimental Infections of Wild Birds with West Nile Virus
Avian models of West Nile virus (WNV) disease have become pivotal in the study of infection pathogenesis and transmission, despite the intrinsic constraints that represents this type of experimental research that needs to be conducted in biosecurity level 3 (BSL3) facilities. This review summarizes the main achievements of WNV experimental research carried out in wild birds, highlighting advant...
متن کاملDetection of West Nile virus in wild birds in Tana River and Garissa Counties, Kenya
BACKGROUND West Nile fever virus is a zoonotic arboviral infection maintained in a sylvatic cycle involving mosquito vectors and birds. It is one the arboviruses whose geographical range is expanding because of climate and land use changes that enhance the densities of mosquitoes and promote mosquito-bird-human interactions. We carried out a survey to determine the reservoirs of WNV among wild ...
متن کاملWest Nile Virus and Usutu Virus Monitoring of Wild Birds in Germany
By systematically setting up a unique nation-wide wild bird surveillance network, we monitored migratory and resident birds for zoonotic arthropod-borne virus infections, such as the flaviviruses West Nile virus (WNV) and Usutu virus (USUV). More than 1900 wild bird blood samples, from 20 orders and 136 different bird species, were collected between 2014 and 2016. Samples were investigated by W...
