ABSTRACT

West Nile virus, was first detected in the Western Hemisphere in September of 1999, now is reaching epidemical proportions in USA and teorically will be expand to all American Continent, the etiological agent a ARN Flavivirus primarily infects birds, but ornithophilic mosquitoes can transmit to humans and animals, 1460 confirmed cases has been reported in USA (septiembre 16 2002), affecting more than 44 states, the virus can cause inapparent infection, mild febrile illness, meningitis, encephalitis, or death in humans and horses. The laboratory diagnosis includes the detection and isolation of the virus by PCR methods and the detection of the antibody response. The preventive measures are: personal protection, mosquito control and a early surveillance system based on detection of infection in humans, animals, birds or mosquitoes.
