Rapid Amplification of West Nile Virus: The Role of Hatch-Year Birds Show Full Record 3571
Source: Vector-Borne and Zoonotic Diseases. February 1, 2008, 8(1): 57-68 Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: Disease transmission Epidemiology Human health Illinois Mosquitoes Vectors (disease) Wild birds Zoonoses Abstract: From abstract (online abstract only): Epizootic transmission of West Nile virus (WNV) often intensifies rapidly leading to increasing risk of human infection, but the processes underlying amplification remain poorly understood. We quantified epizootic WNV transmission in communities of mosquitoes and birds in the Chicago, Illinois (USA) region during 2005 and 2006. Using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods, we detected WNV in 227 of 1195 mosquito pools (19%) in 2005 and 205 of 1...

West Nile Virus Epidemics in North America Are Driven by Shifts in Mosquito Feeding Behavior Show Full Record 1191
Source: PLoS Biology.2006 Apr;4(4):e82. [Epub 2006 Feb 28]. Resource Type(s): Journal (Articles) Searchable Keywords: American robins Disease spread Disease transmission Feeding behavior Human health Mosquitoes Abstract: From abstract (free full-text available): West Nile virus (WNV) has caused repeated large-scale human epidemics in North America since it was first detected in 1999 and is now the dominant vector-borne disease in this continent. Understanding the factors that determine the intensity of the spillover of this zoonotic pathogen from birds to humans (via mosquitoes) is a prerequisite for predicting and preventing human epidemics. We integrated mosquito feeding behavior with data on the population dy...
