Summary: An assessment of the risk that West Nile virus (WNV) might establish in New Zealand was conducted by comparing the taxonomic relatedness of potential vectors and hosts in New Zealand to known WNV vectors and hosts overseas, and assessing whether WNV might survive and spread after arriving. Surveillance strategies currently used in North America to detect outbreaks of WNV were reviewed and assessed to establish whether they are relevant to New Zealand or whether other strategies should be used.
