Resumen en inglés
Surveillance for evidence of West Nile virus (WNV) infection in Morelet’s croc- odiles (Crocodylus moreletii ) was conducted in Campeche State, Mexico, in 2007. Sera from 62 crocodiles (32 free-ranging and 30 captive) were assayed for antibodies to WNV by epitope-blocking enzyme-linked immunosor- bent assay. Antibodies to WNV were detected in 13 (41 %) wild and nine (30 %) captive crocodiles, and the overall antibody prevalence was 35 %. Although evidence of WNV infection in captive crocodiles has been reported in Mexico, we provide the first evidence of WNV exposure in wild crocodiles in Mexico.
