  • Title: West Nile virus outbreak in captive and wild raptors, Czech Republic, 2018.
    Author: Hubálek Z, Tomešek M, Kosina M, Šikutová S, Straková P, Rudolf I.
    Journal: Zoonoses Public Health; 2019 Dec; 66(8):978-981. PubMed ID: 31373181.
    Abstract:
    West Nile virus lineage 2 (WNV-2) was detected in the brain of 17 goshawks (Accipiter gentilis) that succumbed to neuroinvasive disease in the Czech Republic during 2018: twelve birds were captive and five wild. Furthermore, two wild sparrowhawks (Accipiter nisus) and three other captive birds of prey (golden eagle Aquila chrysaetos, hybrid saker falcon Falco cherrug × F. rusticolus and Harris's hawk Parabuteo unicinctus) also died due to WNV encephalitis. The 2018 outbreak in Czech raptors clearly reflects a new epidemiological situation and indicates an increasing risk of both raptor and human infection with WNV-2 in the country.
