Abstract
Serologic surveillance for West Nile virus in dogs, Africa.
Highlights
Seroprevalence of West Nile virus (WNV) in native dogs was significantly higher in Chad than in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) (p
Seroprevalence was low in Kinshasa, DRC (12.5%), and Dakar, Senegal (11.1%), but in N’Djamena, Chad, all 5 native dogs tested had specific antibodies against WNV
In France, dogs are the sentinels of WNV circulation in the Var (12.0%) and Gard (9.1%) departments
Summary
We used the exact binomial method to calculate 95% CIs of the proportions and the Fisher exact test to calculate p values and compare the seroprevalence rates between countries; significance was set at p
