Genetic Variability of West Nile Virus in US Blood Donors, 2002–2005

Genetic Variability of West Nile Virus in US Blood Donors, 2002–2005

West Nile virus (WNV) was detected in the United States in 1999, has reoccurred every summer since, and has become endemic. Transfusion transmission was documented in 2002, and screening of blood donations for WNV began in 2003. We investigated genetic variation of WNV in human isolates obtained fro...
