20 Persistence of Anti-West Nile Virus-Specific Antibodies Among Asymptomatic Blood Donors in Northeastern Italy A. Pierro et al. VBZD 2013 The development and persistence of anti-west Nile Virus (WNV) immunoglobulin G (IgG)- and IgM-specific antibodies were investigated in 68 asymptomatic blood donors (BDs) previously tested as positive between October, 2008, and September, 2009, and living in northeastern Italy. Our study showed that WNV-specific IgG titers became negative (41%) or decreased (33%), while they increased in a smaller percentage (10%); 16% of BDs showed no titer variation. Reversion to seronegative status within a short time frame suggests that WNV surveillance should be maintained year after year.
