Antibody Prevalence of West Nile Virus in Birds, Illinois, 2002
Open accessAbstract
Antibodies to West Nile virus were detected in 94 of 1,784 Illinois birds during 2002. Captive and urban birds had higher seropositivity than did birds from natural areas, and northern and central Illinois birds' seropositivity was greater than that from birds from the southern sites. Adult and hatch-year exposure rates did not differ significantly.

Mourning dove seroprevalence was much lower in other studies.
“Mourning dove seroprevalence was also much lower in other studies (Ringia et al. 2004; Gibbs et al. 2006).”

Table 1 (The Study) reports WNV antibodies in 1 of 11 mourning doves (9.1%), supporting the attribution of a mourning-dove seroprevalence estimate to Ringia et al. The cited paper does not establish that this figure was “much lower” than the prevalence in the citing study; the comparator is not provided here. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSeroprevalence values in this study were considerably higher than those in Florida in 2000, Georgia in 2000-2004, and statewide surveys of Illinois in 2002 and 2001-2004.
“Studies in Florida in 2000 (Godsey et al. 2005), Georgia in 2000-2004 (Gibbs et al. 2006), and statewide surveys of Illinois in 2002 (Ringia et al. 2004) and 2001-2004 (Beveroth et al. 2006), indicate seroprevalence values considerably lower than those reported here.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
