This repository contains 3 datasets related to human and animal West Nile virus geo-referenced outbreak locations in Europe, as well as climate and vector covariates captured by PADI-web media monitoring tool in online news articles, between 2010 and 2022. The data is available both as raw and curated datasets, composed of free text news articles describing West Nile virus outbreaks and extracted information on outbreaks. The data can be useful for spatial risk assessment of West Nile virus emergence in Europe, as well as improving information extraction (i‧e., outbreak locations and dates, hosts, vectors, climate factors etc.) from outbreak related news articles.
