It has been called the west Nile cause it originates from the area western of the white nile in Uganda, though specifically not the nile area . The Nile starts in Khartoum going north. However western of Lake Victoria I believe this is the right name where the white nile starts is the source of this virus. Since you live in Canada, pls check the sources at the Health Canada web site and the CBC web site there is a history for that. Also note that all areas west of the Nile (from khartoum) going toward the Atlantic are almost a desert and free of rivers (though small portions only) and hence do not support life for mosquitos and ground for the virus. The naming is only related to western Uganda. Hope this helps.
Thank you
