Veterinarians calm fears and answer questions with West Nile
virus brochure
Schaumburg, IL - Common concerns and fears about West Nile virus
are addressed in a brochure produced by the American Veterinary
Medical Association (AVMA).
"As news of increasing numbers of confirmed cases of West
Nile virus in wild birds, horses and humans are reported across
the country, people have expressed concerns about keeping their
entire family safe, including their companion animals,"
said Dr. Joe M. Howell, President of the AVMA.
"The brochure, combined with the frequently asked questions
published on the AVMA Web site, www.avma.org, provide important
information that answers concerns about risks and prevention being
expressed by communities across the country," Dr. Howell
added.
Veterinarian, Dr. Tracey McNamara, of the Bronx Zoo, discovered
the occurrence of West Nile virus in North America in 1999. The
West Nile Viral Encephalitis has spread to more than 40 states.
It is reportedly responsible for hundreds of confirmed or probable
human cases of West Nile virus related human illnesses this year,
including dozens of deaths.
The brochure answers the questions:
• What is West Nile virus?
• How can West Nile virus be prevented?
• What are the clinical signs in humans, horses, wild birds,
etc?
