West Nile Virus Alert in New Mexico

West Nile virus is active in New Mexico’s mosquito population, with no human cases reported yet but confirmed carriers in Bernalillo County—prompting urgent precautions statewide. Most infections are asymptomatic, but less than 1% can lead to severe neurological illness, especially in older adults and immunocompromised individuals. Last year saw 52 cases; a proposed $2 million mosquito control bill failed in the legislature. Stay safe: use repellent and eliminate standing water.
