Infeksi virus West Nile
Also known as: Demam West Nile
ZoonoticNotifiable
Virus West Nile adalah flavivirus yang ditularkan nyamuk dan dipertahankan dalam siklus burung-nyamuk. Kuda adalah inang buntu yang sangat rentan dan dapat mengalami penyakit saraf serius, sementara banyak burung liar dan peliharaan memperkuat virus. Manusia, seperti kuda, terinfeksi melalui gigitan nyamuk dan tidak tertular langsung dari kuda, tetapi karena siklus bersama menjadikannya zoonosis penting.
