California County confirms first instance of West Nile virus in 2019
POSTED 11:24 AM, MARCH 15, 2019, BY CITY NEWS SERVICE

SAN DIEGO ? County officials confirmed Friday that they?ve identified the year?s first instance of West Nile virus after a Cooper?s hawk tested positive.

Officials with the county?s Vector Control Program only found small amounts of the virus in the hawk?s tissues, leading them to believe it was an old infection. Last year, only one county resident contracted West Nile virus and ultimately survived, but the virus has spread to as many as 44 residents as recently as 2015. Six people died due to the virus that year.

They later confirmed he had contracted West Nile virus, which is spread by mosquitoes that have fed on an infected bird.

The man is still recovering at home. His name and further details about the case have not been released.

The Maricopa County Department of Public Health is reminding the community to prevent mosquito bites with 27 human cases of West Nile virus infection reported this season, including one death.

Sadly, older adults and those with other chronic health conditions are most at risk for serious complications of West Nile virus.

?This tragic death serves as an important reminder to all of us to do our part in protecting ourselves, our family and our neighborhoods from mosquito-borne diseases,? said Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine, medical director of the Disease Control Division at Maricopa County Department of Public Health. ?With monsoon season upon us, it?s likely we?ll see even more mosquito activity.
