Humans and horses are susceptible to WNV but are  dead-end hosts. WNV is endemic in Senegal, particularly in the Senegal River Delta.  To assess transmission patterns and potential vectors, entomological and sentinel serological was done in Ross Bethio along the River Senegal. Three sentinel henhouses (also used as chicken-baited traps) were set at 100 m, 800 m, and 1,300 m from the river, the latter close to a horse-baited trap. Blood samples were taken from sentinel chickens at 2-week intervals. Seroconversions were observed in sentinel chickens in November and December. Overall, the serological incidence rate was 4.6% with 95% confidence interval (0.9; 8.4) in the sentinel chickens monitored for this study. Based on abundance pattern, Culex neavei was the most likely mosquito vector involved in WNV transmission to sentinel chickens, and a potential bridge vector between birds and mammals.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph10104718","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,1]],"date-time":"2013-10-01T10:36:24Z","timestamp":1380623784000},"page":"4718-4727","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["West Nile Virus Transmission in Sentinel Chickens and Potential Mosquito Vectors, Senegal River Delta, 2008\u20132009"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Assane","family":"Fall","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire National d'Elevage et de Recherche V\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire, Institut S\u00e9n\u00e9galais de Recherches Agricoles, Dakar-Hann BP 2057, Senegal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amadou","family":"Dia\u00eft\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire National d'Elevage et de Recherche V\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire, Institut S\u00e9n\u00e9galais de Recherches Agricoles, Dakar-Hann BP 2057, Senegal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Momar","family":"Seck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire National d'Elevage et de Recherche V\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire, Institut S\u00e9n\u00e9galais de Recherches Agricoles, Dakar-Hann BP 2057, Senegal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00e9r\u00e9my","family":"Bouyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratoire National d'Elevage et de Recherche V\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire, Institut S\u00e9n\u00e9galais de Recherches Agricoles, Dakar-Hann BP 2057, Senegal"},{"name":"Unit\u00e9 Mixte de Recherche Contr\u00f4le des Maladies Animales Exotiques et Emergentes (UMR CMAEE), Centre de Coop\u00e9ration Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le D\u00e9veloppement (CIRAD), Montpellier 34398, France"},{"name":"UMR 1309 CMAEE, Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA), Montpellier 34398, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thierry","family":"Lefran\u00e7ois","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit\u00e9 Mixte de Recherche Contr\u00f4le des Maladies Animales Exotiques et Emergentes (UMR CMAEE), Centre de Coop\u00e9ration Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le D\u00e9veloppement (CIRAD), Montpellier 34398, France"},{"name":"UMR 1309 CMAEE, Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA), Montpellier 34398, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nathalie","family":"Vachi\u00e9ry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UMR CMAEE, INRA, Petit Bourg 97170, Guadeloupe, France"},{"name":"UMR 1309 CMAEE, INRA, Petit Bourg 97170, Guadeloupe, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rosalie","family":"Aprelon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UMR CMAEE, INRA, Petit Bourg 97170, Guadeloupe, France"},{"name":"UMR 1309 CMAEE, INRA, Petit Bourg 97170, Guadeloupe, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ousmane","family":"Faye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facult\u00e9 des Sciences et Techniques, D\u00e9partement de Biologie Animale, Cheikh Anta Diop University, Dakar BP 5005, Senegal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lassana","family":"Konat\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Facult\u00e9 des Sciences et Techniques, D\u00e9partement de Biologie Animale, Cheikh Anta Diop University, Dakar BP 5005, Senegal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Renaud","family":"Lancelot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unit\u00e9 Mixte de Recherche Contr\u00f4le des Maladies Animales Exotiques et Emergentes (UMR CMAEE), Centre de Coop\u00e9ration Internationale en Recherche Agronomique pour le D\u00e9veloppement (CIRAD), Montpellier 34398, France"},{"name":"UMR 1309 CMAEE, Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA), Montpellier 34398, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,10,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"61","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.ento.53.103106.093258","article-title":"A global perspective on the epidemiology of West Nile virus","volume":"53","author":"Kramer","year":"2008","journal-title":"Annu.
