Do Chicago's Suburbs Hold the Key to Understanding West Nile Virus? (Jul 22, 2009)
University of Wisconsin-Madison. School of Veterinary Medicine.
Researchers are conducting studies to determine why one neighborhood is more affected than a neighboring area by the West Nile Virus. They are focusing on Chicago and its suburbs, which is one of the areas most affected. The study includes research on the American robin, which seems to be a key player and carrier in the spread of the virus. Information on the project's field effort "West Nile Virus: Eco-epidemiology of Disease Emergence in Urban Areas II" can be found on the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Veterinary Medicine's Eco-epidemiology of West Nile Virus site.
