This summary outlines key findings from the recent Epidemiology Conference on West Nile Virus (WN). Notable trends include the westward spread of the virus while established regions continue to show persistent activity. Data indicate that males are more likely to experience neuroinvasive disease compared to females. Additionally, about 30% of viremic blood donors exhibit West Nile fever, with only 1.5% progressing to neuroinvasive disease. Among transplant recipients, the risk of developing neuroinvasive disease is approximately 40%. Predictions and future implications are discussed.
