Title: | West Nile virus in the New World: potential impacts on bird species |
Authors: | Peterson, AT Komar, N Komar, O Robbins, MB MartínezMeyer, E Navarro Sigüenza, Adolfo Gerardo |
Issue Date: | 2004 |
Abstract: | The past five years have seen the arrival and extremely rapid expansion of West Nile virus (WNV) in the Western Hemisphere. The rapid sweep across North America has permitted little time for developing knowledge of the virus's potential impacts on wildlife in the New World. Given this information gap, we here summarize for the ornithological community what is known or can be anticipated for WNV's effect on bird communities in coming years. Our particular focus is on impacts of WNV on the conservation status of birds, the principal vertebrate reservoir for the virus. |
