In your WNV Article you write:
There is no cure once WNV is contracted, mortality rates are high and survivors are usually affected with permanent brain damage remaining stuporous and are referred to as "dummies" or "sleepers."
However, later you say that most horses that survive do not have permanent damage. Could you clarify this?

Can you tell me the paragraph Nancy, that sounds more like a description of EEE than WNV.

In the WNV article directly under "Treatment." |

I found it and it is a typo. When updating the treatment sections of both the EEE and WNV articles I pasted an extra sentence in the WNV article from the EEE article. Thanks for the heads up Nancy and I would say your critical reading deserves a 3 month reward added to your membership. Note the prognosis section that follows this sentence accurately reflects what I think the prognosis is.
