Abstract: 

Sensitive indicators of temporal and spatial variation in vector-host contact rates are very critical to understanding the transmission and eventual prevention of arboviruses such as West Nile virus (WNV). Over the last two decades West Nile Virus (WNV) has been responsible for significant disease outbreaks in humans and animals in many parts of the World. West Nile virus (WNV) is a flavivirus closely related to Japanese encephalitis and St. Louis encephalitis viruses that is primarily maintained in nature by transmission cycles between mosquitoes and birds. It’s extremely rapid global diffusion argues for a better understanding of its geographic extent. The overarching goal of our study was to extend the knowledge about these West Nile virus spread infections and newer therapeutic approaches to eradicate this virus spread infections.
