Resumen

West Nile virus (WNV), genus Flavivirus, family Flaviviridaehas been rapidly dispersing through the Americas since its introduction in 1999 in New York (1). By 2004, serologic studies detected WNV-specific antibodies in birds and horses from Canada to northern South America (2-4). The first report of WNV activity in the Southern Cone of South America surfaced in April 2006, when 3 horses died in Argentina(5). However, established transmission foci in Argentina are unknown. We report evidence for the introduction and establishment of WNV in Argentina as early as January 2005.
