Abstract
The isolation of West Nile virus from the brain tissue of three children who died of encephalitis in Mysore and Kolar districts of Karnataka State, India, is reported. This is the first such report from India. The significance of these isolations with reference to the role of West Nile virus in encephalitis in children in southern India is discussed.

The hooded crow proved to be the best virus circulator in titer as well as duration and the bird-mosquito-bird cycle of transmission was easily demonstrated, as an example of what may occur under natural conditions in the endemic environment of the Nile Delta of Egypt.
