📋Overview
West Nile Virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that can cause a range of illness from mild febrile symptoms to severe neuroinvasive disease. It is primarily transmitted by infected mosquitoes, especially Culex species. The term 'West Nile Virus' refers to the virus itself and the disease it causes, with modern clinical focus on WNV infection and its neurological complications such as meningitis, encephalitis, and acute flaccid paralysis.
