Wild snakes harbor West Nile virus
West Nile virus (WNV) has a complex eco-epidemiology with birds acting as reservoirs and hosts for the virus. Less well understood is the role of reptiles, especially in wild populations. The goal of our study was to determine whether a wild population of snakes in Pennsylvania harbored WNV. Six species of snakes were orally sampled in the summer of 2013 and were tested for the presence of WNV ...
متن کاملWest Nile Virus Viremia in Wild Rock Pigeons
Feral rock pigeons were screened for neutralizing antibodies to West Nile virus (WNV) during late winter/spring and summer of 2002 and 2003. Additionally, virus isolation from serum was attempted from 269 birds collected during peak transmission periods. The observed viremia levels and seroprevalence indicate that this species could be involved in amplifying WNV in urban settings.

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...
