Abstract
West Nile virus has now spread to the western hemisphere. The report in today's Lancet by Farzad Mostashari and colleagues of the seroepidemiology of the epidemic of West Nile encephalitis in New York 2 years ago raises questions about possible variation of West Nile fever in different parts of the world—eg, variations in ratio of clinical to symptom-free (or subclinical) infections, and differences in clinical picture.
