"'West Nile virus is much more a wildlife disease than it is a human disease,' says Emi Saito, West Nile surveillance coordinator for the U.S. Geological Survey's National Wildlife Health Center. Though some 246 people died of the virus last year [2002], hundreds of thousands of birds succumbed--mostly crows and blue jays, but also scores of less common birds, from bluebirds and hummingbirds to owls, hawks and eagles." (NATIONAL WILDLIFE) This article discusses the spread of West Nile virus across the United States and Canada and examines the work being done to develop an effective vaccine.
