west nile virus.west nile virus (wnv), a mosquito transmitted disease, made its first appearance in north america in 1999 and quickly spread westward. it arrived in kansas in 2002, re-emerged in 2003, and is expected again in 2004. the natural cycle is from infected bird to mosquito, with humans and horses as accidental (dead-end) hosts. wnv is usually asymptomatic in humans, but can cause a wide spectrum of disease. there is currently no human vaccine and treatment is symptomatic only. a best preventive measur ...200416381343
