[...] le virus du Nil occidental (VNO) est naturellement présent chez les oiseaux. Les moustiques le récupèrent en piquant les oiseaux et en absorbant leur sang, puis le transmettent aux animaux et à l'homme à l'occasion d'une nouvelle piqûre. C'est un Flaviviridae (genre Flavivirus) qui provoque une encéphalite ou une méningo-encéphalite. [...] Il n'y a actuellement aucun traitement spécifique. La découverte du virus du Nil occidental date de 1937 en Ouganda, dans le district du Nil occidental, ce qui lui a valu son nom. [...] Les laboratoires travaillent maintenant sur la mise en évidence d'un gène de susceptibilité au VNO, permettant d'expliquer pourquoi certains sujets résistent bien à l'infection, alors que d'autres meurent rapidement. 4, record 4, French, - virus%20du%20Nil%20occidental
