Long-Term Humoral Immune Response After West Nile Virus Convalescence in Horses in a Geographic Area of Multiple Orthoflavivirus Co-Circulation
Our results showed a significant decrease in WNV titers over time. Because nAbs correlate best with orthoflavivirus protection, our findings suggest that horses might not be protected against re-infection. We recommend regular nAb titer testing or vaccination in endemic areas.
