Related QuestionsDo bats transmit the West Nile Virus?
FAQ re: Bats, Bat Houses, Bathouse Placement and BehaviorAccording to Bat Conservation International, bats are "dead-end hosts" for the West Nile Virus. This means that mosquitoes can infect bats, but bats do not transmit the virus back to mosquitoes. Since the virus is transmitted to people by infected mosquitoes, bats do not transmit the West Nile Virus. Because bats are huge consumers of insects, bat houses can aid in the control of mosquitoes. Therefore, installing bat houses can help to reduce the threat of West Nile Virus.
Related QuestionsHow long does a smallpox vaccination last?
Frequently Asked QuestionsPast experience indicates that the first dose of the vaccine offers protection from smallpox for 3 to 5 years, with decreasing immunity thereafter. If a person is vaccinated again later, immunity lasts longer.

However, these people need another dose of smallpox vaccine to restore their immunity.
Related QuestionsWhich mosquitoes transmit the West Nile Virus?
CCMCD - Frequently Asked Questionsleast 43 species of mosquitoes have been found infected with the West Nile virus in the United States. Not all of these, however, are capable of maintaining the virus in such a manner as to permit them to transmit it among organisms. Many of these infected mosquitoes feed only upon birds, thus contributing to a cycling of the virus among avian populations. Other species feed upon these infective birds and then will feed upon mammals, including humans.
