The West Nile Virus was first found in 1937 in Uganda. Israel had an outbreak of West Nile Virus in 1957 and by 1999 the virus was found in the United States, Russia, and other countries.
I am a likely candidate for the West Nile Virus as mosquitoes will bite me instead of the ten people standing around me. However it was my daughter, who is not prone to being bitten by mosquitoes, who contracted a severe case of the West Nile Virus. Not much was known about the West Nile Virus at that time about danger associated with severe cases of West Nile. Because my daughter was a nurse and refused to go to the hospital, insisting that she would be all right, we did not get her to a hospital. It was months before she recovered enough to be out of bed each day and before we realized that her symptoms and severe headaches were caused by brain inflammation such as meningitis and/or encephalitis. My daughter did recovered and is now a nurse practitioner. She still has periodical bouts of severe headaches and other West Nile Virus symptoms that last a day or so.
