West Nile fever is a neglected endemic pathology in West Africa. It is caused by a flavivirus. The objective of this work is to search from the national surveillance of yellow fever and Dengue viruses, the West Nile virus for the year 2019. Sera from samples diagnosed negative for yellow fever and dengue fever were used to detect specific anti-yellow fever virus IgM antibodies by immunocapture using the ELISA (Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) technique. The real-time molecular method (RT-PCR) was also used to search for the viral genome through the envelope gene (E). Serological results revealed serum IgM antibodies against West Nile virus. We have 03 positive cases/132 cases studied with 3.17% positive in women and 1.67% of cases in men. It affected children aged 15 to 17 (0.76%) and adults over 40 (1.53%). Only the districts of Abidjan were exposed. Regarding the PCR test, all samples for the viral genome were negative. This study indicates the presence of antibodies against the circulating West Nile virus in Abidjan. These West Nile cases detected in the Abidjan health district have highlighted the reality of West Nile.
