   What is West Nile Virus, and why did it suddenly appear in North America?  How did this West Nile Virus epidemic in the US really begin, and what is the true source of this deadly disease that is now spreading across our nation?  Did West Nile Virus come from birds?  And what animal species acted as the original host for this deadly disease?

   West Nile Virus actually has a very long history.  This deadly form of Encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) was first officially identified in the African nation of Uganda many years ago, and can be easily transferrred to humans by the bite of a mosquito.  The first recorded cases of West Nile Virus occurred on the continent of Africa in 1937, although the disease probably existed for many years before that time.  Since that original outbreak in Uganda, new cases have been documented on other continents as well.  In 1957 an outbreak was recorded in Israel, and another outbreak occurred in Egypt.  As the deadly disease gained more recognition, new cases were reported in France in the 1960's, and in South Africa in 1974.  Romania reported an outbreak in 1996, and Russia recorded a few cases in 1999.

   The first confirmed cases of West Nile Virus in the United States were originally reported in New York City in 1999, where 62 people came down with the disease.   These 62 cases (first identified as Eastern Equine Encephalitis), resulted in 7 deaths.  West Nile Virus seems to be most dangerous to the elderly, the very young, and also to persons with suppressed immune systems.  West Nile Virus leaves many of its victims with permanent neurological damage.  Health officials are still trying to identify the original host animal for this deadly disease.  Crows are NOT the host animal for West Nile Virus.  They just happen to be unfortunate enough to be at the bottom of the food chain.  So what animal are these crows feeding on that passes the virus to them?

   In spite of the fact that we now live in the 21st century with all it's modern medical miracles, it remains a fact that many of our medical professionals still fail to understand the vital role that diseases play in God's natural ecosystem, and are therefore unable to identify the original host animal for West Nile Virus.  Learn more about West Nile Virus and her sister diseases, Eastern Equine Encephalitis, St. Louis Encephalitis and LaCrosse Encephalitis and discover what common animal is now spreading West Nile Virus across our nation, bringing sickness and death to thousands of unsuspecting human and animal victims.  If you'd like to know the truth about how this West Nile Virus epidemic really began, please click on the link below and order your copy of Edward Oliver's new revised and expanded 350-page book "Prophets and Frauds".
