Of 206 specimens tested, 36 had WNV neutralizing antibodies, signifi cantly more than in similar earlier serosurveys. Seven probable acute WNV cases were identifi ed, suggesting WNV may be overlooked as an etiology of severe disease in South Africa.enCoordinating Center for Infectious Diseases, Centers for Disease Control and PreventionSouth AfricaWest Nile virus (WNV)HumansWest Nile fever -- South AfricaArticle
