我们进行了一项流行病学分析，以记录2002-2011年间美国德克萨斯州人类中西尼罗河病毒感染情况。西尼罗河病毒已经成为德克萨斯州的地方病；报告的病例数量每3年增加一次。感染风险最大的是德克萨斯州西北部的农村地区，那里的主要蚊子是塔氏库蚊。
We conducted an epidemiologic analysis to document West Nile virus infections among humans in Texas, USA, during 2002-2011. West Nile virus has become endemic to Texas; the number of reported cases increased every 3 years. Risk for infection was greatest in rural northwestern Texas, where Culex tarsalis mosquitoes are the predominant mosquito species.
