Domestic Dogs as Sentinels for West Nile Virus but not Aedes-borne Flaviviruses, Mexico

We tested 294 domestic pet dogs in Mexico for neutralizing antibodies for mosquito-borne flaviviruses.

Zusammenfassung:We tested 294 domestic pet dogs in Mexico for neutralizing antibodies for mosquito-borne flaviviruses. We found high (42.6%) exposure to West Nile virus in Reynosa (northern Mexico) and low (1.2%) exposure in Tuxtla Gutierrez (southern Mexico) but very limited exposure to Aedes-borne flaviviruses. Domestic dogs may be useful sentinels for West Nile virus.
