Abstract
West Nile virus and wildlife health.
Highlights
The West Nile Virus and Wildlife Health Workshop, hosted by the Smithsonian Institution, National Audubon Society, U.S Geological Survey, and U.S Department of Agriculture, was held February 5–7, 2003, at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center in Edgewater, Maryland
These findings in turn raised questions about factors involved in human susceptibility, risks of pesticide exposure, efficacy of mosquito control, the value of sentinel animals in surveillance, and the roles played by various species in virus transmission and amplification
The conference centered around four main themes: 1) host, vector, and pathogen interactions; 2) vertebrate behavior and ecology; 3) vector behavior and ecology; and 4) modeling and spatial statistics
