Objectives: To characterise the chorioretinal (CR) manifestations of West Nile virus (WNV) infection using multimodal imaging (MMI).

Methods: Retrospective cohort study including 37 patients with confirmed WNV infection hospitalised at a single centre (July-September 2024). All underwent comprehensive ophthalmological evaluations, including visual acuity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, fundoscopy, and multimodal imaging: fundus photography, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), fundus autofluorescence (FAF), fluorescein angiography, and indocyanine green angiography when clinically indicated.

All organisms and most viruses additionally suppress UpA dinucleotides in protein-coding RNA. Synonymously recoding viral genomes to introduce CpG or UpA dinucleotides has emerged as an approach for viral attenuation and vaccine development.

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control has reported autochthonous transmissions of dengue or West Nile virus in Italy, France, Spain, and Germany. Raising awareness and implementing protective measures against mosquitoes will therefore become increasingly relevant in Germany in the future.
