Abstract

West Nile virus is a globally spreading virus infecting birds and to some extent human population as well. Many mathematical models have been proposed and studied to predict the disease dynamics of the virus. Different models incorporate different factors leading to the epidemic and thus modelled by using different transmission terms. In this paper, we give an overview of the mainly the differential equations approach and emphasize on what the predictions are.
