Evaluation for West Nile Virus (WNV) RNA in urine of patients within 5 months of WNV infection.
To the Editor—Gibney et al recently reported finding no West Nile virus (WNV) RNA in urine samples collected from 40 patients at 6.5–6.7 years after acute WNV disease [1]. These findings were in contrast to Murray et al, who detected WNV RNA in urine samples collected from 5 of 25 patients (20%) at 1.6–6.7 years after their initial infections [2]. We present results from a prospective evaluatio...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of West Nile Virus (WNV) from the First Human Case of Neuroinvasive WNV Infection in Cyprus
We report here the complete genome sequence of a West Nile virus (WNV) strain from the first laboratory-confirmed human case of neuroinvasive WNV infection in Cyprus. Phylogenetic analysis showed that this WNV strain grouped clearly into genetic lineage 1, clade 1a, cluster 2.
متن کاملAssessment of methods for prediction of human West Nile virus (WNV) disease from WNV-infected dead birds
BACKGROUND West Nile virus (WNV) is currently the leading cause of arboviral-associated encephalitis in the U.S., and can lead to long-term neurologic sequelae. Improvements in dead bird specimen processing time, including the availability of rapid field laboratory tests, allows reassessment of the effectiveness of using WNV-positive birds in forecasting human WNV disease. METHODS Using New Y...
متن کاملInduction of sterilizing immunity against West Nile Virus (WNV), by immunization with WNV-like particles produced in insect cells.
No specific vaccine for West Nile virus (WNV) is currently available for human use. In the present study, we describe the generation of WNV-like particles (WNV-LPs) in insect cells by use of recombinant baculoviruses expressing the WNV structural proteins prME or CprME. BALB/c mice immunized with purified WNV-LPs developed WNV-specific antibodies that had potent neutralizing activities. Mice im...
متن کاملInfectious clones of novel lineage 1 and lineage 2 West Nile virus strains WNV-TX02 and WNV-Madagascar.
We report the generation of West Nile virus (WNV) infectious clones for the pathogenic lineage 1 Texas-HC2002 and nonpathogenic lineage 2 Madagascar-AnMg798 strains. The infectious clones exhibited biological properties similar to those of the parental virus isolates. We generated chimeric viruses and found that viral factors within the structural and nonstructural regions of WNV-TX contribute ...
