A genetic basis for human susceptibility to West Nile virus.

Trends in microbiology - 1 Jul 2006

Diamond Michael S, Klein Robyn S

Abstract excerpt

West Nile virus (WNV) infects thousands of humans annually and causes a spectrum of disease ranging from an acute febrile illness to lethal encephalitis. A new study suggests a link between CCR5Delta32 (a common mutant allele of the chemokine and HIV receptor CCR5) and fatal WNV infection. The study highlights a possible risk in targeting this receptor for the prevention and/or treatment of infectious diseases.
