Ecologic Determinants of West Nile Virus Seroprevalence among Equids, Brazil
Emerging Infectious Diseases
|August 23, 2021
Abstract:
Among 713 equids sampled in northeastern Brazil during 2013-2018, West Nile virus seroprevalence was 4.5% (95% CI 3.1%-6.3%). Mathematical modeling substantiated higher seroprevalence adjacent to an avian migratory route and in areas characterized by forest loss, implying increased risk for zoonotic infections in disturbed areas.
