West Nile Virus Infection in Killer Whale, Texas, USA, 2007
In 2007, nonsuppurative encephalitis was identified in a killer whale at a Texas, USA, marine park. Panviral DNA microarray of brain tissue suggested West Nile virus (WNV); WNV was confirmed by reverse transcription PCR and sequencing. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated WNV antigen within neurons. WNV should be considered in cases of encephalitis in cetaceans.

West Nile virus (WNV) is an avian virus that can cause fatal disease in some species of mammals, reptiles and birds. Most clinical cases occur in humans and horses. Approximately 80% of infected humans remain asymptomatic; 20% have flulike symptoms. Less than 1% develop meningitis, encephalitis or acute paralysis, but some of these cases are fatal or result in permanent impairment. Neurological...
متن کاملCorrelation of West Nile Virus Incidence in Donated Blood with West Nile Neuroinvasive Disease Rates, United States, 2010–2012
Over the past decade, West Nile virus (WNV) has spread across the United States. We aggregated blood donor data from 2010-2012 and then calculated the incidence of WNV RNA-positive donations and compared the incidence with neuroinvasive disease (NID) case data from the ArboNET surveillance system. Of 10,107,853 donations, 640 were confirmed positive. The seasonal WNV incidence rate per 100,000 ...
متن کاملWest Nile virus seroprevalence rates of various avian species
The house sparrow ( Passer domesticus ) is a common and abundant amplifying host of West Nile virus (WNV) and many survive infection and develop humoral immunity. We experimentally inoculated house sparrows with WNV and monitored duration and protection of resulting antibodies. Neutralizing antibody titers remained relatively constant for ≥ 36 months ( N = 42) and provided sterilizing immunity ...
