Host stress hormones affect host, but not vector, infectiousness for West Nile virus

L. B. Martin, M. E. Kernbach, K. Koller, N. D. Burkett-Cadena, T. Unnasch

This study investigates whether corticosterone affects the extrinsic incubation period of West Nile virus in mosquitoes feeding on corticosterone-treated birds, finding no effect on EIP or post-feeding mortality.

Light pollution affects West Nile virus exposure risk across Florida.

M. E. Kernbach, L. B. Martin, T. R. Unnasch, R. J. Hall, R. H. Jiang, C. D. Francis

This study finds light pollution, specifically artificial light at night, is a stronger predictor of West Nile virus exposure risk in Florida than urbanization or temperature.

Light Pollution Increases West Nile Virus Competence in a Ubiquitous Passerine Reservoir Species

M. E. Kernbach, J. M. Miller, R. J. Hall, T. R. Unnasch, N. D. Burkett-Cadena, L. B. Martin

This study shows that dim light at night increases the infectiousness of house sparrows to West Nile virus, potentially raising outbreak risk by 41%.
