The USDA has credited West Nile-Innovator with contributing to the 70 percent decline in the United States equine West Nile cases at the height of the epidemic. Up to 40 percent of horses who have been diagnosed with WNV have died or been euthanized due to declined health as a result of the virus. West Nile virus is carried by infected birds that migrate throughout the country. Mosquitoes are infected after taking a blood meal from an infected bird. Infected mosquitoes then transmit the virus to other birds and mammals, including humans and horses. The most serious manifestation of this virus is fatal encephalitis in about 40 percent of equine cases. Other clinical signs include fever, stumbling/tripping, muscle weakness/twitching, partial paralysis, head pressing, inability to rise, convulsions, and coma.
