Abstract
Strains of West Nile virus were isolated from the blood of 2 pigeons. Columba livia. and 1 hooded crow, Corvus corone sardonius, in an endimic area of the Nile Delta of Egypt in July and August, 1953. The virus was also obtained from the brain and spleen of 1 of the pigeons. The relation of these isolations to the environment is briefly discussed.Keywords
