West Nile Virus is cause by a virus in this Genus.
What is Flavivirus?
The percentage of people that show no symptoms.
What is 80%?
This is where the WNV was first discovered.
Where is Uganda?
These simple actions helps prevent mosquito bites.
What is using repellent or wearing long sleeves
This animal acts as a reservoir for the virus.
What is Birds?

What is Dead-End host?
This is one severe neurological condition caused by the virus.
What is Encephalitis or meningitis?
These 3 viruses are relatives to WNV.
What is Zika, Dengue, Yellow Fever?
These 2 groups are most likely to contract a severe disease from WNV.
What is immunocompromised and elderly people?
These 3 are rare pathways in which WNV is transmitted.
What is blood transfusions, organ transplants, mother to baby, or lab exposure

What is +ssRNA?
This is the treatment style for WNV.
What is management of symptoms?

Where is New York?
These are 3 ways to disrupt mosquito breeding sites.
What is Mosquito Nets, Removal of Standing Water, Regular Spraying of Insecticide?
These 2 pathways are NOT how WNV is transmitted.

This environmental factor is expected to expand the geographic range of West Nile Virus by increasing mosquito breeding seasons and habitats.
What is Climate Change?
This is type of transmission cycle involves mosquitoes and birds maintaining the virus in nature.
What is Enzoonotic
This feature of WNV allows it to fuse with host cell membranes and enter cells.
What is the envelope?
WNV crosses this protective biological barrier to infect the central nervous system and cause encephalitis.
What is The blood-brain barrier (BBB)?
The rapid spread of West Nile Virus across North America after 1999 was largely driven by this natural process involving infected animal hosts traveling long distances.
What is bird migration
This dengue vaccine, is often cited in discussions about challenges in developing vaccines for flaviviruses like West Nile Virus.
