" West Nile virus has been detected in breast milk, raising the possibility that the microbe could be transmitted through nursing as well as by blood transfusion, organ donation and the usual route, mosquito bite, government officials said yesterday."

Odd isn't it that the article didn't say something like "Breastfeeding mother contracts West Nile Virus; lack of transmission to infant suggests possible protective factors"?
