Strategies and guidelines for West Nile fever
This technical report describes the result of a project to provide an overview of the epidemiological situation of WNV and USUV, the diagnostic, surveillance, prevention and control practices applied in EU/EEA countries, and to assess their public health and animal health impact in the EU/EEA.

This report aims to identify and evaluate the operational challenges each country is facing in implementing vector control and to prioritise the needs to be addressed in order to facilitate national public health authorities in developing and/or enhancing their national WNV response capacities.
Vector control practices and strategies against West Nile virus
English (3.27 MB - PDF)West Nile virus (WNV) is an emerging pathogen whose ecology and epidemiology extend across multiple interfaces. As the epidemiology and transmission cycle of WNV is complex, assessing the risk of WNV being transmitted to humans is not always straightforward. Therefore, the WNV risk assessment tool has been developed to provide operational guidance in support of the risk assessment process.
