Mortality of Goshawks (Accipiter gentilis) Due to West Nile Virus Lineage 2

In 2017, we isolated and identified West Nile virus (WNV) lineage 2 from two dead captive goshawks ( Accipiter gentilis ), for the first time in the Czech Republic. Goshawk might serve as an early indicator species for the ongoing WNV emergence in several European countries.
