90+% of people who 'catch' WNV never know they have it.

Since I live in a Michigan swamp, I assumed that I contracted it and became immune to it several years ago.

A friend of mine just returned from a year in the hospital with West Nile, most of it spent in isolation and on a ventilator. She’s now re-learning how to move her arms and use her hands. It’s true most folks just get a mild case, if they notice it at all, but those who do get it full-bore have a long, tough time ahead of them.

But how severely has WNV affected the horses? And Lord knows, there are horses aplenty in the San Joaquin Valley, wouldn’t they be a considerable reservoir of the disease?
Not sure if the disease also affects cattle too. But horses can definitely be affected, sometimes at a subclinical level, which may trigger other disorders.

It started in New York and New Jersey in 1999 and has now made its way to California and up and down the continental U.S.; by this time, three years from now it will be yesterday’s news.

I was bitten by a mosquito inside my house last night. My yard is full of them and they ride into the house on the dogs. I hate mosquitoes!

There is a WNV vaccine for horses now. Don’t know why there isn’t one for people.
BTW, there is now at least one human case in Idaho.
Did they ever figure out how this got into the States?

I hate mosquitoes!So do I. I have a house dog, but once in a while she goes outside. I am afraid of mosquitoes biting her because I hear they can cause heart worms in dogs.
