West Nile Fever–a Reemerging Mosquito-Borne Viral Disease in Europe

West Nile Fever–a Reemerging Mosquito-Borne Viral Disease in Europe

West Nile virus causes sporadic cases and outbreaks of human and equine disease in Europe (western Mediterranean and southern Russia in 1962-64, Belarus and Ukraine in the 1970s and 1980s, Romania in 1996-97, Czechland in 1997, and Italy in 1998).
