I heard the whole report. It has infected some 60 species to date, and is
expected to be found throughout the country within 5 years.

I would guess the entire report could be heard on NPR's web site using
RealAudio or something similar. The report was done by Daniel Swerdling.

Subject: NPR report on West Nile Virus


> You may not read this soon enough, but at the end of the first hour of
"All Things Considered, " and probably also available on their website
(npr.org), I heard the end of a report on the West Nile Virus. One of the
physicians from Fort Collins, CO, wondered "How soon I'll be seeing dead
crows in my yard?"

> What's our concern here? I hate to think of some kind of mass eradication
program. What's been done so far in the east? The report said that the
virus has been carried as far west as Lake Erie.
