Serologic Evidence of West Nile Virus Infection in Horses, Yucatan State, Mexico

Abstract: Serum samples were obtained from 252 horses in the State of Yucatan, Mexico, from July to October 2002. Antibodies to West Nile virus were detected by epitope-blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays in three (1.2%) horses and confirmed by plaque reduction neutralization test. We report the first West Nile virus activity in the State of Yucatan.

“…Estudos sorológicos realizados em aves na Jamaica 3 e na República Dominicana 4 detectaram infecção por este vírus no ano de 2002. Neste mesmo ano, pesquisas sorológicas em cavalos e galinhas em Guadeloupe 5 e em cavalos em Yucatan, Estado do México 6 , constataram infecção pelo VNO. Na França, em 2000, ocorreu uma epidemia de encefalite equina.…”
