West Nile Virus & Domestic Animal Health

West Nile virus (WNV) has impacted thousands of horses since 1999, with some regions reporting over 30% of the horse cases dying or euthanized due to poor prognosis. There are currently two vaccines approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for use in horses.

Resources on Cats & Dogs and WNV

West Nile virus has also been detected in a number of domestic animals, including pet birds, dogs, and cats.
