Authored by abcnews.go.com

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was hospitalized with a case of West Nile virus and is now recovering at home, a spokesperson said.

Fauci is expected to make a full recovery, the spokesperson told ABC News in a statement.

West Nile virus is the leading cause of mosquito-borne disease in the continental United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Mosquitoes typically become infected with the virus after feeding on infected birds and then spread it to humans and other animals, according to the CDC.

Several health departments in the U.S. say they have detected West Nile virus in mosquito samples this year.

At least 216 cases of West Nile virus have been detected in 33 states, the CDC reports in it's latest figures.

During that time, Fauci advised seven presidents and guided the nation's response to infectious disease outbreaks including AIDS, Zika, Ebola and COVID-19. »
