The Role of Birds as Potential Reservoirs of West Nile Virus in the Territory of the Russian Federation
https://doi.org/10.21055/0370-1069-2012-4-18-21
Abstract
Submitted are the materials on epizootiology of West Nile Fever in birds, taking into account their migration. Described are the characteristics of WNF in wild and synanthropic birds. Ecological relationships between birds, mosquitoes, ticks and West Nile virus are analyzed. Main autumn bird migratory directions are characterized and the data on WNF monitoring in birds in different geographical regions of Russia are presented.
