Abstract

West Nile Virus (WNV) is a virus of the family flaviviridae which infects people and animals particularly through bites of mosquitos and causes fatal infections characterized by neurologic signs. In the biological cycle of this virus which has a RNA genome, wild birds play an important role along with mosquitoes. WNV infections are observed in many countries in America, Europe, and Asia as well as in Turkey. As of today, there is no vaccine against WNV infections in humans and no effective treatment is known. Infections caused by WNV can be prevented by effective mosquito and wild bird control programs.

Özet

Flavivirüs familyasında yer alan Batı Nil virüsü (BNV), özellikle sivrisinek sokması ile insanlara ve hayvanlara bulaşarak nörolojik belirtilerle karakterize ölümcül enfeksiyonlara neden olmaktadır. RNA genomuna sahip olan bu virüsün biyolojik döngüsünde, sivrisineklerin yanı sıra yabani kuşlarda önemli rol almaktadır. Ülkemizin de içinde bulunduğu sıcak ve ılıman iklim kuşağında yer alan Amerika, Avrupa ve Asya kıtasındaki birçok ülkede BNV enfeksiyonları görülmektedir. İnsanlarda gelişen BNV enfeksiyonlarına karşı aşı henüz geliştirilmemiş olup, hastalığın etkin bir tedavisi bulunmamaktadır. BNV’lerin neden olduğu enfeksiyonlardan korunmak için, sivrisinek ve yabani kuşlar ile mücadele edilmelidir.
