Predictive Modeling for West Nile Virus and Mosquito Surveillance in Lubbock, Texas.

West Nile virus (WNV) was first detected in North America during 1999, and has since spread throughout the contiguous USA. West Nile virus causes West Nile fever and the more severe West Nile neuroinvasive disease. As part of a WNV vector surveillance program, we collected mosquitoes in Lubbock, Texas, using CO-baited encephalitic vector survey (EVS) traps.
