Title
Effect of bird-to-bird transmission of the west nile virus on the dynamics of the transmission of this disease
Two recent publications report that direct bird-to-bird transmission of West Nile virus is possible. The effect of a bird-to-bird transmission on the transmission dynamics of this virus is studied through mathematical modeling. The model still treats the bird-to-mosquito-to-bird as the main transmission route. The results of numerical calculations show that there are changes in the dynamics of the transmission of West Nile fever in humans when the non-mosquito transmission route becomes more important.
