Snippet: Often several different factors need to be favourable for a vector-borne disease to adapt to the conditions in an urban environment. For example, West Nile virus (WNV) infection is an infectious disease which has become a reality in the urban environment. The primary vector is the mosquito Culex Pipens, which lay their eggs in water resources which are often man-made. However, for a successful transmission cycle WNV also need the American robin (.....
Document: Often several different factors need to be favourable for a vector-borne disease to adapt to the conditions in an urban environment. For example, West Nile virus (WNV) infection is an infectious disease which has become a reality in the urban environment. The primary vector is the mosquito Culex Pipens, which lay their eggs in water resources which are often man-made. However, for a successful transmission cycle WNV also need the American robin (Turdus migratorius), which has several broods per season and hatchlings are more susceptible to WNV infection than adult birds (40) . The county of Dallas, Texas, experienced an epidemic of WNV infections in 2012. Surveillance reports revealed 25% of the cases in the United States were found in Dallas County (41) . It shows for a vector-borne disease to have a successful transmission cycle several different factors need to be in place to affect the human population.
