To determine if RAMP results were affected by freezing the sample, samples from 13 corvids (10 positive, 3 negative) were retested by using swabs taken from frozen carcasses. Cloacal and oral (nasopharyngeal) swabs from dead corvids (crows and jays) are reliable sources of WNV RNA and infectious virions (6).
