Abstract
West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne virus that has been documented in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, India, parts of Asia, and Australia. The virus was first identified in the West Nile district of Uganda in 1937. It was first reported in the United States in 1999, when 62 cases and 7 deaths from West Nile virus infection were reported in the New York City area. Since 1999, West Nile virus has spread across the continental United States. The virus was identified in a dead crow in the eastern part of Iowa in September 2001. Human cases in Iowa have been reported every year since 2002.
