dc.description.abstract | This project will educate readers about the West Nile virus (WNv), and the vaccine research
approaches currently underway. A narrative review used an instrument to synthesize WNv vaccine
research studies, into an easy to understand format. Results indicated the instrument had a
high magnitude of reliability (r = 0.90, p<0.0001). The size and frequency of future epidemics
of the rare occurrence WNv is uncertain. Research for a WNv vaccine for humans is a responsible
public health initiative. The rationale for preplanning a vaccination program is discussed as a
future application of this research. The public expects preventative and therapeutic
solutions to infectious diseases, and the project's conclusion indicates that for WNv
this can be achieved. | |
