If the virus is imported into Taiwan, it will spread rapidly and become endemic in Taiwan just as what have happened in the USA since the outbreak of the West Nile Virus infections in 1999.In this project we will collect samples from wild birds and horses in Taiwan. In every season we will collect 50 horse serum samples to test West Nile virus antibody, and another 80 wild birds oral or fecal samples will be collected for the reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect West Nile virus nucleic acid. 13西尼羅病毒West Nile virusELISA 抗體ELISA antibody反轉錄聚合脢鏈反應RT-PCR
