Bird species define the relationship between West Nile viremia and infectiousness to Culex pipiens mosquitoes.
The transmission cycle of West Nile virus (WNV) involves multiple species of birds. The relative importance of various bird species to the overall transmission is often inferred from the level and duration of viremia that they experience upon infection. Reports utilizing in vitro feeding techniques...
