In August 1999, Dr. Deborah Asnis, an infectious-disease clinicianin Queens, New York, reported two cases of encephalitis associatedwith muscle weakness to the New York City Department of Health.Dr. Marci Layton and her colleagues at the Department of Healthrapidly mounted a collaborative investigation that ultimatelyidentified West Nile virus as the cause of the ongoing outbreaksof disease in humans and in crows. West Nile virus, which wasfirst identified in a patient in Uganda in 1937, had not previouslybeen recognized in the Western Hemisphere. The virus has nowspread throughout most of the United States . . . [Full Text of this Article]
