Abstract

West Nile virus (WNV) is primarily diagnosed via serological testing, detecting antibodies against WNV in the blood, and the cerebrospinal fluid. Practically, the majority of patients are no longer viraemic at the time of symptom onset due to brief viraemic phases and the low viral load present in the blood of affected persons.
