“…Few WNF human cases were then seen between 1963 and 1964; no cases have been recorded in the area since 1965. Correspondingly, a much lower frequency of seropositive humans (5%) was revealed in the area between 1975 and 1980 (74). This is a low seroprevalence when compared with 21% to 41% seropositive inhabitants recorded between 1963 and 1965 (39).…”

“…A few equine cases were observed from 1963 through 1965, but no cases have been recorded in Camargue since 1965. Concurrently, a much lower frequency of seropositive animals (2% of 99 horses) was revealed in the area later, between 1975 and 1980 (74); this is a low seroprevalence rate when compared to the mean 30% seropositive horses in this region between 1963 and 1965 (39). In September 2000, about 20 horses with WNV encephalitis were observed in Camargue again (H. Zeller, personal communication).…”

A review of West Nile virus (WNV) and the epidemiology of West Nile fever (WNF) in Europe is presented. European epidemics of WNF reveal some general features. They usually burst out with full strength in the first year, but few cases are observed in the consecutive 1 to 2 (exceptionally 3) years, whereas smaller epidemics or clusters of cases only last for one season. The outbreaks are associated with high populations of mosquitoes (especially Culex spp.) caused by flooding and subsequent dry and warm weather, or formation of suitable larval breeding habitats. Urban WNF outbreaks associated with Culex pipiens biotype molestus are dangerous. Natural (exoanthropic, sylvatic) foci of WNV characterized by the wild bird-ornithophilic mosquito cycle probably occur in many wetlands of climatically warm and some temperate parts of Europe; these foci remain silent but could activate under circumstances supporting an enhanced virus circulation due to appropriate abiotic (weather) and biotic (increased populations of vector mosquitoes and susceptible avian hosts) factors. It is very probable that WNV strains are transported between sub-Saharan Africa and Europe by migratory birds. The surveillance system for WNF should consist of four main components: (1) monitoring of mosquito populations and their infection rate; (2) wild vertebrate surveys; (3) sentinel birds (domestic ducks rather than chickens); and (4) monitoring of human disease. In the case of persisting high risk of WNF for humans and equids in certain enzootic areas, immunization against WNF should be considered. For that purpose a commercially available, cross-protective vaccine against Japanese encephalitis could be used.

“…During a serosurvey (hemagglutinationinhibition assay) conducted in Camargue from 1975 to 1979, a low frequency of antibody response against WN virus was observed in 235 human samples (4.9%) and 99 horse samples (2%) (21). In contrast, a high frequency was observed against Tahyna virus (31% in humans and 9% in horses), a Bunyavirus belonging to the California group that induces febrile illness with central nervous system signs and has been reported in many countries in Europe as well as in Africa and Asia (22).…”

“…The first WNV outbreak in horses in France occurred during the summer of 1962 in the Camargue region, a wetland area characterized by very diverse bird communities (Jourdain et al, 2007a). A second epizootic in the Camargue occurred in 2000, with 76 equine cases (Murgue et al, 2001 Rollin et al, 1982). The second study, which was done shortly after the 2000 epizootic in horses, reported the presence of WNV neutralizing antibodies in Mallards (Anas platyrhynchos), Yellow-legged Gulls, and Common Magpies (Pica pica; Hars et al, 2004).…”
