The majority of WNV infections will manifest asymptomatically. West Nile fever offers an excellent prognosis

viruses don't have legs (or heads, or eyes, etc) they're one-celled, like bacteria, only smaller in fact, they're more like "half a cell" since they don't have a lot of the elements in a standard cell

Answer; Davidmt1: No. West Nile doesn't pass from person to person. Only from mosquito to person. We would be fine because all we would have to do was put on bug repellent. West Nile is nothing to worry about. However Bird Flu, The Plague, Tuberculosis, and Meningitis are.

Because it is a potentially deadly disease that can cause permanent damage to the brain.

I think that in Germany and Finland.

What ever the number is - it is not correct. Remember the push was on Swine Flu. Most individuals could not get tested until they had a fever for over five days - and then they had to specify that they wanted to be tested for WNV. But Flu is Flu so there was no need to spend the money for a test for which there was no cure for.

West Nile virus can affect individuals of all ages, but older adults, particularly those aged 50 and above, are at the highest risk for severe illness and complications. Younger, healthy individuals may experience mild or no symptoms if infected. However, the overall incidence of West Nile virus infections tends to be higher in adults compared to children. Prevention, especially for older adults, is crucial during peak mosquito activity seasons.

West Nile virus does not have a nucleus because it is not a cellular organism; it is a virus. Viruses are made up of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protein coat, and they lack the cellular structures that define living cells, such as a nucleus. Instead, they replicate by infecting host cells and hijacking the host's cellular machinery.

lots of ways

1. someone who is infected could travel there

2. belive it or not bio-terrorism could result in outbreaks of several viruses

3. the river's water could end up in a local waterway

and tons of other ways. it's like how the Indians died because of settlers: forgein diseases.

American crows, in particular, are extremely susceptible to WNV, and have become the virus' primary host population.

West Nile is caused by West Nile Virus.
