Abstract

In this study, genomic data from an epidemiologic assessment of 52 WNV-positive samples highlight the combined influence of local virus maintenance and long-distance dispersal in shaping WNV circulation in France. Strengthened genomic surveillance across ecological and administrative boundaries would be essential to anticipate further viral spread, inform response strategies, and protect populations at risk.
