Birds Test Positive for West Nile Virus in Adams County
The Adams County Health Department reports that two dead blue jays found in Adams County in August have tested positive for West Nile virus. These are the first birds testing positive for West Nile virus in Adams County since surveillance for the mosquito-transmitted virus began May 1.
“The positive birds mean that residents of Adams County need to be more vigilant in their personal protective measures to prevent mosquito bites,” Linda McFarlin, Health Officer said.
West Nile Virus is spread to humans through the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes get the virus by feeding on infected birds.
“Adams County residents should be aware of West Nile virus and take some simple steps to protect themselves against mosquito bites,” Christine Saloun, Public Health Nurse said. “The West Nile virus seems to be here to stay, so the best way to avoid the disease is to reduce exposure to and eliminate breeding grounds for mosquitoes.”
.
The Health Department’s Christine Saloun recommends the following:
· Maintain window screens in good repair to decrease indoor contact with mosquitoes
· Avoid being outside during times of high mosquito activity, specifically around dawn and dusk
· Wear light colored protective clothing such as long pants, loose-fitting long-sleeved shirts and tuck pants in socks when outdoors
· When outdoors, consider using an effective mosquito repellant containing an active ingredient registered by the EPA, such as DEET , picaridin or oil of lemon eucalyptus.
· Do not provide a breeding ground for mosquitoes—remove containers, old tires and any objects where water can collect and mosquitoes can lay eggs.
The majority of people (80%) who are infected with West Nile Virus do not get sick. Those who do become ill usually experience mild symptoms such as fever, headache, or rash. Less than 1% of people infected with the virus get seriously ill.
This mosquito season 3 humans have been identified with West Nile virus in Wisconsin.
Adams County Public Health in cooperation with the Wisconsin Division of Public Health will continue surveillance for West Nile virus until the end of the mosquito season. More information about West Nile virus is available on the Internet at:
