This presentation dives into the world of the West Nile Virus (WNV), a mosquito-borne zoonotic virus with serious implications for both animals and humans. Since its discovery in Uganda in 1937, WNV has spread across most continents, affecting a wide range of species, from birds and rodents to horses and humans. We'll explore WNV's origins, transmission methods, and symptoms, which range from mild fever to life-threatening neurological complications. Covering key topics such as the virus’s lifecycle, primary hosts, and preventive strategies, this presentation offers an essential guide to understanding and mitigating the risks posed by this persistent virus. Perfect for those in veterinary or animal health fields, it highlights the significance of awareness and prevention in managing WNV’s impact on public and animal health.
