| Resumo: | West Nine virus (WNV) is an emergent zoonotic pathogen spread worldwide. This flavivirus is endemically maintained in a life cycle with birds acting as reservoirs, Culex mosquitopes as the main vectors, and human and horses as accidental dead-end hosts. The potential impact ofWNV infection on wildlife populations can be severe, especially in thjreatened or endangered species. This work might be useful as a starting point for a surveillance program to better assess the real distribution of the WNV in Portuguese vulutres. Early virus detection is important for both bird conservation and public health. |
