Dear Michele,
                            Disregarding speculation as to its absolute
origin, West Nile Virus (a coined identity) displays to be a VERY close
relative to Eastern Equine Encephalitis.  WNV and EEE are most similar,
displaying many similar characteristics.....including infectious consequences
and biological field adaptation characteristics.   Through employing a
reliable search engine, you should be able to inform yourself, quite well, on
Eastern Equine Encephalitis.......and thus gained useful knowledge applicable
to its kin........WNV.   While certainly not a benign agent, WNV has displayed
(to our satisfaction) to be no more, or less, threatening ......as a virulent
new-variant flu strain.   Young children and persons of advanced age or poor
health would be under the greatest danger.
                These comments may be construed to be my personal
opinion.....ONLY.
                                        Sincerely,  Brooks Bradley.
p.s.  Our investigations have indicated WNV as MUCH less threatening----as a
potential epizootic-----than the publicly-based media outlets continually
announce/imply.  There does seem to be existing suggestion that WNV (in some
form) has been extent in the U.S. for some period PRIOR to the sudden
identification/revelations by the mass media.   There is no existing evidence
the Atlanta-based Federal Research Facility was LOOKING for such a
pathogen......prior to the highly publicized New York episode.  The rather
sophomoric commentary relating to rapid mosquito-vector transport being of
sudden onset......does tend to lead one to question the credulity of these
sources.
                Interesteringly, while not possessing a current-health dossier
on the deceased victims assigned to WNV.....we have NO provable data than ANY
nominally healthy individual has expired as the direct and sole result of WNV.
