In 1999, the U.S. West Nile (WN) virus epidemic was preceded by widespread reports of avian deaths. In 2000, ArboNET, a cooperative WN virus surveillance system, was implemented to monitor the sentinel epizootic that precedes human infection. This report summarizes 2000 surveillance data, documents widespread virus activity in 2000, and demonstrates the utility of monitoring virus activity in animals to identify human risk for infection.
1999年,美国西尼罗河(WN)病毒疫情爆发之前,曾有大量鸟类死亡的报道。2000年,一个名为ArboNET的西尼罗河病毒合作监测系统开始实施,以监测人类感染之前的哨兵动物疫情。本报告总结了2000年的监测数据,记录了当年广泛的病毒活动,并证明了监测动物病毒活动以确定人类感染风险的实用性。
