West Nile Virus Detected in Pittsfield | Albany News

West Nile virus has been spotted in Pittsfield’s mosquitoes—near the cemetery—but no human cases have been reported yet. While anyone can get sick, seniors over 50 are at higher risk for serious complications. Stay safe by using repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants during dawn and dusk, eliminating standing water, and checking window screens. Local and state teams are also stepping up with larvicide treatments and public education to keep the community protected.
