Resumen:
Our serologic data suggest that WNV has established itself in 4 eco-logic regions in Argentina in a brief period: .Córdoba, periurban thorn forest (1.1%, 6/543); Mar Chiquita, thorn forest (5.1%, 16/313); Monte Alto, semi-dry chaco forest (9.8%, 8/82); Monte-cristo, cropland (9.5%, 2/21) and San Miguel de Tucumán, periurban yungas foothills (4.9%, 12/227). Additional studies are needed to defi ne the reservoir hosts and vectors of WNV in Argentina, and most importantly, to defi ne the public health risk this virus represents.
