In 1999, a deadly strain of West Nile virus struck parts of the northeastern United States. Caused by a virus from the family Flaviridae, genus Flavivirus, the disease was common in Africa and the Middle East. This title looks at the origins of this disease, how it is transmitted, how it is treated, and what measures are being taken to combat it.
