What is West Nile Virus?

Transmitted by mosquitoes, West Nile Virus (WNV) is a dangerous disease common in birds, humans and other mammals. Only about 25% of those infected with WNV present with symptoms. Symptoms of West Nile Virus can include fever, headache, body aches, rash or swollen lymph glands. In severe cases (less than 1%) encephalitis can occur. Symptoms of encephalitis can include high fever, stiff neck, tremors, convulsions, headache, coma, disorientation, muscle weakness or paralysis. In very few cases death can occur. There is no vaccine for West Nile Virus. If you think you may have WNV you should seek medical help immediately.

Don’t forget to do your part in limiting mosquito reproduction by following the 7T’s of mosquito control.
