Resumo(s)

West Nile Virus (WNV) is an RNA virus from the family Flaviviridae. It is transmitted by several genera of mosquitoes, with Cullex spp. as the main vectors identified in Europe and North America. Birds are amplifying agents and important to the transmission cycle, during the viremia period. Equines are considered dead-ends hosts and are recognized as sentinels of the virus in many countries.
