Description

This report presents the results from the second West Nile virus (WNv) Seroprevalence Study, undertaken by Alberta Health and Wellness during March through June 2007. Since most WNv infections do not lead to clinical cases, seroprevalence studies are conducted to estimate how many Albertans have actually been infected with the virus and how the virus is spreading in the province. The studies also help to increase our understanding of the cycles of WNv to help predict yearly clinical infection rates. A secondary objective of the study is to investigate the knowledge and attitudes of Albertans about WNv and about measures used to protect against infection.
