Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former top U.S. infectious disease expert, was hospitalized after being infected with West Nile virus but is expected to recover fully.
West Nile virus is primarily transmitted through mosquito bites, with most infections being asymptomatic, but serious illness can occur in about 1 in 150 cases.
Fauci likely contracted the virus from a mosquito bite in his backyard, resulting in hospitalization due to fever, chills, and fatigue.
As of mid-August, the CDC recorded 216 West Nile virus cases in 33 states, highlighting the importance of mosquito bite prevention.
