Can people tell me the best places to test for West Nile Virus (I guess antibody IgG and IgM testing? Is that the best?), Equine Encephalitis, and Powassan Encephalitis testing?
Also, are there other East Coast strains of tick-borne or mosquito-borne encephalitis, or strains in the Ohio River Valley area?
From what I read the IgG levels -- at least for WNV -- can stay elevated indefinitely from a past infection, so I'm assuming the others may be similar.
Just want to know best labs to use for this. Thanks!
