Diseases (NIAID) |
| NIH's NIAID supports reseach to develop
vaccines, antiviral medicines, and new diagnostic assays for West
Nile virus. Additionally, basic research is providing new clues about
the virus itself, the disease in humans and animals, and how the virus
is maintained in the environment. This knowledge is essential in developing
strategies to prevent, treat, and eventually control this disease. |
