1999年西尼罗河病毒在西半球史无前例的出现，代表着卫生安全警告情报的失误。本文回顾了警报信号识别的时间表和相关的错失机会，以弥补战略和战术评估的不足。涉及多个公共和私营机构和专业学科的信号演变的复杂性，加上固有的偏见和解释方面的不足，导致警报通信严重延误，失去了备灾和应急的机会。
The 1999 unprecedented emergence of West Nile virus in the western hemisphere represented a health security warning intelligence failure. This paper reviews the timeline of warning signal recognition and associated missed opportunities to bridge strategic and tactical assessments. The complexity of signal evolution involving multiple public and private institutions and professional disciplines, coupled to inherent biases and shortfalls in interpretation, resulted in significant delays in warning communication and lost opportunity for preparedness and emergency response.
