West Nile fever is a mosquito-borne viral disease that can affect birds, humans and horses, causing asymptomatic infection, mild fever, meningitis, encephalitis, and death. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review of West Nile virus (WNV) seroprevalence studies in birds in European countries between 2010 and 2023. Three electronic databases – PubMed, ScienceDirect and Scopus – were searched for relevant publications using predetermined keywords. A total of 4,872 papers were found, and 39 results included in the article, after removing duplicates and applying the eligibility criteria. Further monitoring and epidemiological studies of WNV in Europe is advised, considering the threat that this disease can pose to humans and animals.
