Impacts of West Nile Virus
on Wildlife
on Wildlife
West Nile virus infection can cause significant mortality in avian species such as crows, jays, magpies, hawks, owls, and eagles. Sage grouse are particularly susceptible to WNV infection and significant mortality events have occurred in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming. West Nile virus does not typically cause morbidity or mortality in big game animals in Wyoming, but mountain goats may be acutely susceptible.
