Serological evidence of West Nile virus in blood donors from a city on the northern border of mexico: a cross-sectional study
Our results strongly suggest recent WNV circulation among residents from the northern border of Mexico. The lack of differences regarding the history and frequency of travel to the USA suggests that contact with the virus occurs in Mexico and that the low reported circulation in the region represents an underdiagnosis of the disease.
