|
|
| West Nile virus is transmitted primarily through the bite of an infected mosquito. However, there have been isolated cases occurring in blood transfusion and organ donation recipients, from mother to baby during pregnancy, and through breast milk.

| West Nile-Reporting Dead Birds
|
|
| Dead bird reports (all species) and dead bird submissions (blue jays and crows) allow health professionals to track West Nile virus. Although not all blue jays and crows need to be tested, certain selected samples will be sent for testing. The dead blue jay or crow, itself, might not be a source of West
Nile virus for people or pets; although, people should wear gloves when handling any dead bird or mammal because of the possibility of other diseases. |
