The following information has been summarized from guidance provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):
In North America West Nile Virus (WNV), a mosquito-borne flavivirus infection, was first identified in the fall of 1999 in a relatively localized outbreak in New York City and neighboring counties. Since then the virus has spread dramatically across the entire continental United States and, in 2002, more than 2,000 cases of WNV human neuroinvasive disease were reported in 44 of the 48 continental states.
