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.
