Susceptibility and antibody response of the laboratory model zebra finch
December 16, 2016
The data set contains the results of experimental challenge of captive
zebra finches with an American crow isolate of West Nile virus. Data include infectivity, mortality,
viremia, oral shedding of virus, and serology for anti- WNV antibodies. Australian and Timor zebra
finches were used in this study and both are useful as a laboratory model of an avian species with
moderate susceptibility to WNV.

Susceptibility and antibody response of the laboratory model zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) to West Nile Virus
Since the introduction of West Nile virus (WNV) into North America in 1999 a number of passerine bird species have been found to play a role in the amplification of the virus. Arbovirus surveillance, observational studies and experimental studies have implicated passerine birds (songbirds, e.g., crows, American robins, house sparrows, and house finches) as significant reservoirs of WNV in North Am
