Abstract

A fatal case of West Nile virus (WNV) infection was diagnosed based on histopathologic findings and the presence of WNV RNA by reverse transcription PCR in the affected organs in a Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana) in Quebec, Canada in 2017. Disease caused by WNV has not been described in a marsupial species.
