West Nile virus was first isolated from a feverish adult woman in the West Nile District of Uganda in 1937.
The first appearance of West Nile virus in North America in 1999, with encephalitis reported in humans and horses, and the subsequent spread in the United States, may be an important milestone in the evolving history of this virus.
Recent outbreaks of West Nile virus encephalitis in humans have occurred in Algeria (1994), Romania (1996 to 1997), the Czech Republic (1997), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (1998), Russia (1999), the United States (1999 to 2003), Canada (1999 to 2003), and Israel (2000).
