  abstract = {{I}n {A}frica, infection with {W}est {N}ile virus ({WNV}) is frequent but almost always asymptomatic in humans and equids. {T}he aim of this study was to identify whether any other domestic animal living in the same enzootic locality may be the sentinel of {WNV} circulation. {I}n northwest {S}enegal, blood samples were collected from 283 adult domestic animals (136 sheep, 64 horses, 29 donkeys, 29 goats, 14 cattle, and 11 dogs), in three localities near {K}eur {M}omar {S}arr. {E}ach serum was tested for {WNV} immunoglobulin {G} using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. {T}he prevalence among donkeys, horses, dogs, goats, cattle, and sheep was 86.2%, 68.7%, 27.3%, 6.9%, 0%, and 0%, respectively. {T}his survey confirms that equids and dogs could be the best sentinel animals for surveillance of {WNV}. {T}he ruminants do not play a role in {WNV} epidemiology.},
