West Nile Virus Confirmed in Sacramento | Sacramento Kings News

Sacramento County confirms its first human West Nile case this year — a 60-something woman recovering — as California’s second human infection this year. With 31 dead birds and 20 positive mosquito samples since May, officials warn the virus is active and risk is rising, especially for older adults and immunocompromised individuals. Mosquito control is ramping up with trapping, breeding site treatments, and adult mosquito sprays. As summer heats up, experts urge everyone to drain standing water, wear protective clothing, use repellent, and check window screens — because even if most cases are silent, the virus is real and out there.
