West Nile Virus (WNV)
• WNV is a member of the flavivirus family of the Japanese Encephalitis virus serocomplex
• WNV may cause severe encephalitis (brain inflammation) in humans, horses and birds
• Crows and blue jays are highly susceptible

WNV
• WNV is transmitted by mosquitoes, primarily Culex pipiens (Northern House Mosquito)
• WNV has been detected in more than 20 species of mosquitoes in North America
• Therefore, protection against mosquito bites is very important

WNV• WNV can cause severe encephalitis (brain inflammation) in humans
• Since 1999, 10% of people who developed encephalitis due to WNV infection have died
• The risk for WNV is greatest in the very young, immune-compromised and elderly people
• There is no vaccine for people at the present time
• There are two important ways to protect yourself against WNV……………..

Mosquito Control
• Mosquitoes need standing water to lay their eggs and complete their development.
• Baby mosquitoes (larvae) can turn into adult mosquitoes in as little as a week.
• A female mosquito can lay up to hundreds of eggs in her lifetime.
• By eliminating water-holding containers, you can reduce mosquitoes around your home.
