Detection of West Nile Virus in Oral and Cloacal Swabs Collected from Bird Carcasses
Copyright policy )Detection of West Nile Virus in Oral and Cloacal Swabs Collected from Bird Carcasses
We evaluated if postmortem cloacal and oral swabs could replace brain tissue as a specimen for West Nile virus (WNV) detection. WNV was detected in all three specimen types from 20 dead crows and jays with an average of >10(5) WNV PFU in each. These findings suggest that testing cloacal or oral swabs might be a low-resource approach to detect WNV in dead birds.
