West Nile virus: A re-emerging pathogen revisited. Our observations shed light on the pathogenesis, transmission, and ecology of WNV and can benefit the implementation of surveillance and control programs. These results suggest that the magpie, which is one of the most abundant corvid species in Europe, could represent a source of WNV transmission for birds and humans. Sham-infected control animals were negative for viremia, viral RNA, and antibodies. Cuando el mosquito se alimenta con sangre de una persona enferma de dengue y luego pica a otras personas les transmite esta enfermedad. Even more, infectious virus was recovered from swabs up to 7 days post-infection and from feather pulps up to 10 days post infection. El dengue es una enfermedad viral que se transmite sólo a través de la picadura de un mosquito hembra infectado, no de persona a persona, ni a través de objetos o de la leche materna. WNV-RNA was amplified from swabs (oral and cloacal) at 3, 6 and 7 days post-infection and feather pulps, from 3 to 17 days post-infection, of infected animals.

WNV genome was detected in the brains and hearts of all magpies that succumbed to the infection, and, in some of the surviving birds. Neutralizing antibodies were detected at all time points analyzed (from 7 to 17 days post-infection). All infected magpies developed viremia detectable at 3 days post-infection with titers above those necessary for successful transmission of WNV to a mosquito. Magpies were highly susceptible to WNV infection, with similar low survival rates (30% and 42.8%) for both lineages. Herein, we report the first experimental infection of magpie (Pica pica) with two strains of West Nile virus, lineages 1 (NY-99) and 2 (SRB Novi-Sad/12), which are currently circulating in Europe. Resident birds play an important role in flavivirus epidemiology, since they can serve as reservoirs and facilitate overwintering of the virus. Something as simple as putting your cellphone in a different room, away from your desk for an hour, can help you focus on what matters most.ĭistractions (and mosquitoes) are not inherently bad, but the ability to control attention and maintain focus on what’s wildly important is like a superpower for creating value and delivering results.West Nile virus (WNV), a zoonotic pathogen naturally transmitted by mosquitoes whose natural hosts are birds, has spread worldwide during the last few decades. Saying no to distractions and getting into flow state is how I: Csikszentmihalyi even calls flow the secret to happiness. In his book of the same name, he defines flow as “the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter.” Athletes and artists commonly refer to it as being “in the zone” or “in the groove.”ĭr. Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi labeled this feeling of hyperfocus as Flow. I’ve found that my best work-the kind of work that creates value-comes from uninterrupted periods of time when I’m focused on just one thing.Ī heightened sense of awareness emerges and I feel energized. The cost of frequently switching tasks is a reduction in cognitive performance, which is why it’s important to avoid distractions. Sophie Leroy, Associate Professor at the University of Washington Bothell, discusses attention residue in her peer-reviewed article “ Why is it so hard to do my work?” and defines the effect as “when thoughts about a task persist and intrude while performing another task.” Task switching has a costly, negative effect on the brain. All day, these kinds of distractions tug on our attention and pull us away from our work. That urge to check your phone when you’re in the midst of solving a complex problem.
