How hard would it be to bring over a WNV infected animal -
- feathered or furred - that created this outbreak?
Not hard at all .. and it was probably done *quite* innocently by somebody whether they were a foreigner or perhaps just coming back from overseas and they brought back some animal for their 'kid' to play with ... it could also have been something that stowed away on a ship (like a rat) or a bird 'sucked' over the Atlantic in a storm ... a few bites by mosquitos and BINGO - the virus spreads ...
