Mosquito traps have yielded positive results for West Nile virus. This development has prompted a mosquito control response. A contractor will spray areas near the affected traps, which are located at two parks.

The virus is transmitted primarily through bites from infected mosquitoes. Symptoms can range from none to severe illness, including fever and joint pain.

Further information about the situation and the virus is available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other sources.
