Conclusion
We identified the WNV antibody for the first time in resident wild birds
and migratory wild birds of different areas of Bangladesh. However, no
WNV genomic RNA was detected. It refers to the migration of birds as a
possible source of transmission in our country. Future studies should be
directed to continuous surveillance of the virus using a virus
neutralization test (VNT) in humans and birds to prevent possible
outbreaks and to identify the circulating strains in the country.
