An under appreciated cause of neurological disease in humans and horses in SA The West Nile Virus (WNV) may cause severe neurological disease in horses with a high death rate. Cases are frequently reported in the USA where horses are now vaccinated annually. We investigated the situation in South Africa to determine if cases are being missed in horses. We found that WNV may be an important, under-detected cause of neurological disease in South Africa and local strains can cause fatal disease in horses. |
