==Overview==
WNV is an enveloped positive-sense ssRNA virus of 11000 base pairs (bp) that is considered a member of the Japanese encephalitis serocomplex. It belongs to the genus Flavivirus and family Flaviviridae. Its RNA encodes structural and non-structural proteins. Although 7 lineages of WNV have been described, only lineage 1 and 2 are clinically significant. The viral natural reservoir includes many species, such as humans, horses, dogs, and cats; but the main natural reservoir is birds.

Overview

WNV is an enveloped positive-sense ssRNA virus of 11000 base pairs (bp) that is considered a member of the Japanese encephalitis serocomplex. It belongs to the genus Flavivirus and family Flaviviridae. Its RNA encodes structural and non-structural proteins. Although 7 lineages of WNV have been described, only lineage 1 and 2 are clinically significant. The viral natural reservoir includes many species, such as humans, horses, dogs, and cats; but the main natural reservoir is birds.

WNV is a member of Japanese encephalitis serocomplex and belongs to the genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridae. Other species of the this serocomplex include the St Louis encephalitis virus and the Japanese encephalitis virus.[4]

The WNV has an icosahedral symmetry, with a smooth surface.[5] It is an enveloped virus with a nucleocapsid core built of RNA and capsid proteins. Its genome is contained in a single-stranded RNA of about 11000 bp.[6] It contains a single open reading frame (ORF), a 5' untranslated region (UTR), and another 3' region which is also not translated. The ORF contains a single polyprotein that produces 3 smaller types of structure proteins and 7 of non-structural proteins following processing and translation.

  • Structural proteins are responsible for the formation of the viral particle and include:
  • Envelope proteins
  • Membrane proteins
  • C proteins
  • Non-structural proteins are responsible for viral replication, evasion of the immune system, and assembly of virions. They include:
  • NS1
  • NS2A
  • NS2B
  • NS3
  • NS4A
  • NS4B
  • NS5

The WNV may be classified in 7 phylogenetic lineages. Of these, only 1 and 2 have been identified as causative agents of disease in humans and are considered clinically significant.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]

  • Lineage 1: Widespread, isolates from Europe, America, Middle East, India, Africa, and Australia
  • Lingeage 2: Southern Africa, Madagascar, and Europe

Natural reservoir

Although WNV can infect humans and numerous animals, birds are its main natural reservoir.[4][6]
