    Snippet: West Nile virus (WNV) is the most widespread flavivirus present in all continents except Antarctica. Up to 9 different genetic lineages have been described so far [1] ; medically most important are lineages 1 and 2.

    Document: West Nile virus (WNV) is the most widespread flavivirus present in all continents except Antarctica. Up to 9 different genetic lineages have been described so far [1] ; medically most important are lineages 1 and 2. WNV is maintained in a mosquito-bird transmission cycle, humans and horses are considered dead-end hosts. Most human infections are asymptomatic, however approximately 20% of cases develop a febrile illness with flu-like symptoms (West Nile fever, WNF) and less than 1% West Nile neuroinvasive disease (WNND), the latter associated with a mortality rate of about 10% [2] . The vast majority of patients acquire WNV infection through the bite of an infected mosquito, mainly of the genus Culex [3] . Other routes of transmission include blood transfusion, solid organ transplantation, congenital infection, and laboratory accidents [2] . Ticks may play an alternative role as vectors, especially in the introduction of WNV to new areas when attached to birds [4] .
