West Nile can cause serious, life-altering, and even fatal disease, and is therefore a potentially serious virus. West Nile mainly infects birds, but is also known to have infected horses, dogs, cats, bats, chipmunks, skunks, squirrels, domestic rabbits, and humans. Approximately 80% of people who are infected with West Nile will show no symptom at all. Up to 20% of those infected display milder symptoms that will develop between 3 and 14 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. About one in 150 people infected with West Nile will develop a severe illness.West Nile is not spread through casual contact, such as touching or kissing a person with the virus. Pregnancy and nursing do not increase the risk of becoming infected with West Nile. The risk that West Nile may present to a fetus or an infant infected through breast milk is still being evaluated.The risk of getting infected with West Nile through medical procedures is very low.
