What is West Nile Virus? West Nile Virus is commonly found in Africa, West Asia, and the Middle East. It is related to the St. Louis encephalitis virus found in the U.S. CDC scientists believe the virus has probably been in the eastern U.S. since the early summer of 1999, possibly longer. The virus can infect humans, birds, mosquitoes, horses and some other mammals, and is typically spread by mosquitos.
West Nile fever is characterized by flu-like symptoms. West Nile fever typically lasts only a few days and does not appear to cause any long-term health effects.
West Nile encephalitis is a more severe disease due to a person being infected with WestNile Virus. West Nile meningitis is an inflammation of the membrane around the brain and the spinal cord, and West Nile meningoencephalitis refers to an inflammation of the brain and the membrane surrounding it.

The illness usually begins with a fever (measured temperature greater than 100.4°F [>38.0°C]). The fever is sometimes associated with chills or other symptoms, including headache, general feeling of discomfort, and body aches. Some people also experience mild respiratory symptoms at the outset. After 2 to 7 days, SARS patients may develop a dry, nonproductive cough that might be accompanied by or progress to the point where insufficient oxygen is getting to the blood. In 10% to 20% of cases, patients will require mechanical ventilation.
