Does anyone have any resources for published articles/studies on the 
economic impact of any of the WNV outbreaks? I can't even find 
anything from New York in 1999. The best I could come up with was a 
time & cost analysis on running a lab testing program. I wrote an 
email to Lois Levitan & she suggested that I post my request.
I am a graduate student of Indiana University's MPH program, just 
finishing my final project.I coordinate the communicable disease 
program for a local health department. I did my internship last 
summer with the mosquito control program and wanted to tie the 
internship with my project. As a
result, I am in the process of trying to do a cost analysis of the 
outbreak we experienced in Marion County Indiana in 2002.
I just read an article posted at 
http://www.westnilevirusfacts.org/westnile_story.html
This was an interesting story that talked about a situation in Cook 
County(Chicago). It is worth reading.
Thanks for any help from anyone.
