Description
Alex Richter-Boix and eleven colleagues present a 2026 global database on West Nile virus hosts, built to support research on how this mosquito-borne virus spreads. Knowing which animals carry the virus, and which can pass it back to mosquitoes, is basic to predicting outbreaks.
One dataset gathers infection evidence from 541 studies in ninety-one countries, covering more than half a million tested animals from 1,801 species. A second compiles 113 experimental infection studies with day-by-day virus levels for 103 species. Names are standardized so users can link records with trait and range data for ecology and surveillance planning.
