Strategies and guidelines for West Nile fever

Surveillance, prevention and control of West Nile virus and Usutu virus infections in the EU/EEA

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.

West Nile virus risk assessment tool

​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.
