"CROW BUSTERS Cooperates with West Nile Virus Research"


Samples of crows were  needed during the past the winter to test for the virus. On two mornings, Gordon Krause and Doug Wigfield, founders of CROW BUSTERS, collected crows for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Wildlife and Heritage Division. Over 125 crows were taken and turned over to vets from the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The resulting blood samples were sent to the USGS National Wildlife Health Center in cooperation with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) where all tested negative for the virus.

Testing may continue as requested.
