AbstractThe ecological processes that determine how individual animals become hosts to zoonotic pathogens is a topic of rapidly growing interest. However, how such exposure is mediated by context (e.g., season, location), host behavior (e.g., migration distance) and host demographics is generally poorly understood. We evaluated seasonal exposure to West Nile Virus of American robins sampled in Indiana and compared our results to those of previous studies.
