	Guadeloupe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Guadeloupe is an archipelago located in the eastern Caribbean Sea at 16°15′N 61°35′W, with a total area of 1,780 square kilometres (687 sq. mi).
		Guadeloupe was populated from 300 BC by the Arawak Amerindians, who fished and developed agriculture on the island.
		One indication of Guadeloupe's prosperity at this time is that in the Treaty of Paris (1763), France decided to abandon its territorial claims in Canada in return for British recognition of French control of Guadeloupe.

	CDC - West Nile Virus, Guadeloupe
		Therefore, a study with the objective of detecting the early appearance of the infection was planned in Guadeloupe on susceptible species (birds and horses) during the summer of 2002.
		Migratory birds from the North usually arrive in Guadeloupe later than July; thus, the infection observed in horses in July 2002 was probably not derived from migrating birds that year.
		This could be related to the absence in Guadeloupe of species known to be extremely susceptible to the infection (Corvidae), vector competence, or the virus strain.
