Whatever happened to West Nile Virus? |
Whatever happened to West Nile Virus? It's still around. We just didn't have the outbreaks that some predicted. I think that's been due to increased vigilance in public awareness (such as emptying containers of stagnant water), use of aerial sprays, etc. Specifically, the Department of Public Health continues to conduct laboratory testing to confirm West Nile virus cases in dead bird samples. The public, in my state of Michigan, has been asked to turn in all found dead crows, to aid in the effort. Furthermore, the D.P.H. is monitoring any possible human cases and also working with health care providers across the U.S., on a state level, to educate health care providers about the signs and symptoms of West Nile virus infection. it went in deNile |
