During 2008-2015 in South Africa, we conducted West Nile virus surveillance in 1,407 animals with neurologic disease and identified mostly lineage 2 cases in horses (7.4%, 79/1,069), livestock (1.5%, 2/132), and wildlife (0.5%, 1/206); 35% were fatal. Geographic correlation of horse cases with seropositive veterinarians suggests disease in horses can predict risk in humans.
2008-2015 年期间,我们在南非对 1407 例患有神经系统疾病的动物进行了西尼罗河病毒监测,在马(7.4%,79/1069)、家畜(1.5%,2/132)和野生动物(0.5%,1/206)中主要发现了 2 型谱系病例;35%的病例是致命的。与血清阳性兽医的马匹病例的地理相关性表明,马中的疾病可以预测人类的风险。
