Lineage 2 West Nile Virus as Cause of Fatal Neurologic Disease in Horses, South Africa

1 Jun 2009

Abstract excerpt

Serologic evidence suggests that West Nile virus (WNV) is widely distributed in horses in southern Africa. However, because few neurologic cases have been reported, endemic lineage 2 strains were postulated to be nonpathogenic in horses. Recent evidence suggests that highly neuroinvasive lineage 2 strains exist in humans and mice. To determine whether neurologic cases are being missed in South Africa, we tested...
