West Nile Fever (WNF) is caused by a B arbovirus, which was first isolated in 1937 in Uganda. In Israel the disease bears an epidemic character, and during 1950-1957 several widespread outbreaks of WNF were described in detail. It emerged from obscurity in 1999 when the first incursion of the virus
Problematic issues on creation and practical introduction of specific immune biologic prepa- rations for therapy and prophylaxis of natural-foci arbovirus infections - West Nile fever (WNF) and Crimean hemorrhagic fever (CHF), that are not available until now, are examined. Persistent natural foci
A 45-year-old patient was admitted with high fever and inadequate behaviour. She had recently stayed in Israel. Extensive investigation suggested a viral infection, but the cause was not established. Her partner suggested the possibility of West Nile virus infection, based upon information he had
The authors investigated an outbreak of West Nile Fever characterized by severe neurological symptoms and death in a flock of 3600 6-week-old geese. Ataxia, intermittent torticollis and opisthotonus, incoordination, rhythmic side-to-side movement of the head, wriggling of the neck and abnormal head
OBJECTIVE
To demonstrate the possibility of development of test based on phosphorescent analysis (PHOSPHAN) for simultaneous identification and differentiation of specific IgG to tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) and West Nile fever (WNF) viruses.
METHODS
Twenty six serum samples from patients with TBE,
OBJECTIVE
Detection of circulation of West Nile virus (WNV) on the territory of Saratov Region and prerequisites for formation of natural focus of West Nile fever (WNF), determination of the role of WNV in infectious pathology on the territory of the region.
METHODS
of organs of small mammals,
West Nile fever (WNF) is a natural focal vector-borne disease; the main vectors are mosquitoes. Specific means for its prevention are not available; therefore, one of the main areas of WNF epidemiological surveillance is entomological monitoring that encompasses the control of the size ofvector
West Nile fever (WNF) has been assessed according to the criteria of the Animal Health Law (AHL), in particular criteria of Article 7 on disease profile and impacts, Article 5 on the eligibility of WNF to be listed, Article 9 for the categorisation of WNF according to disease prevention and control
Experimental studies have demonstrated that the mosquitoes Cx. p. f. molestus fed with virus-containing suspensions, by using an artificial membrane and hygroscopic surface, are infected in 60 to 100% cases and transmit the accepted pathogen of West Nile fever (WNF) to newborn albino mice on blood
Due to increased incidence of West Nile fever (WNF) in Europe and the rapid spread of West Nile virus (WNV) in the US, it is commonly thought that it will only be a matter of time before WNV reaches the Netherlands. However, assessing whether WNV is really a threat to the Dutch population is
We evaluated the completeness of West Nile fever (WNF) surveillance within the U.S. public health system. We surveyed laboratory and surveillance programs on policies, practices, and capacities for testing, confirmation, and reporting (collectively called ascertainment) from 2003 through 2005. We
Some arbovirosis have increased their incidence and geographic range in the past few years. This phenomenon has been particularly noticeable in the case of West Nile fever/encephalitis. This disease did not receive much attention until serious outbreaks occurred in Romania, Russia and Israel between
This retrospective study describes risk/protection factors for the development of clinical West Nile Fever (WNF) in equids, compares clinical presentation in three European countries, France, Italy and Hungary, and creates classification and regression trees (CART) to facilitate clinical diagnosis.
Results of the analysis of the increase in the incidence of epidemic of the West Nile fever and climate conditions in the Volgograd region were presented. Certain seasonal periods and threshold values of temperature and humidity statistically associated with the epidemic rise were identified. The
The brains from the mice infected intraperitoneally (with development of these or those symptoms of viral encephalitis) or intramuscularly with the Astrakhan West Nile fever virus strain (AcT 986) was pathomorphologically studied. Clinicomorphological changes in the neurons and vessels of the
