West Nile Virus Antibodies, Proteins & ELISA Kits

Q: How is WNV maintained in nature?

In an enzootic bird mosquito (Culex) cycle; humans and horses are incidental, dead-end hosts.

Overview

What is West Nile Virus?

West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus maintained between Culex mosquitoes and birds; most human infections are mild but a minority cause neuroinvasive disease.

Anti-WNV IgM/IgG serology and recombinant envelope and NS1 antigens support diagnosis, blood-supply screening research and vaccine studies.

Transmission & symptoms

West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne flavivirus maintained between Culex mosquitoes and birds, with humans incidental hosts. Most infections are asymptomatic, but a minority develop neuroinvasive disease (meningitis, encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis).

Diagnosis & serology

Diagnosis relies on anti-WNV IgM (serum/CSF) and IgG by ELISA using envelope (E) and NS1 antigens, with flavivirus cross-reactivity confirmed by neutralisation where needed. WNV serology is also relevant to blood-supply safety.

Research applications

Research tools cover WNV attachment factors (DC-SIGN family, integrins), innate sensing (TLR3) and neuroinflammatory responses.

FAQs

West Nile Virus — frequently asked questions

How is West Nile virus infection diagnosed?

By anti-WNV IgM/IgG ELISA (serum or CSF), with plaque-reduction neutralisation to resolve flavivirus cross-reactivity.

Who is at risk of severe West Nile disease?

Older adults and immunocompromised people are at higher risk of neuroinvasive West Nile disease.

How is WNV maintained in nature?

In an enzootic bird–mosquito (Culex) cycle; humans and horses are incidental, dead-end hosts.
