West Nile Virus Spotted in Vallejo | San Francisco News

A dead bird in Vallejo has tested positive for West Nile virus — a first this year, as the virus typically shows up in warmer areas like Dixon or Vacaville. Mosquitoes are already being trapped nearby to check for infection, since they’re the carriers. While no human cases have been reported in Solano County this year (only two statewide), officials urge residents to protect themselves: keep screens intact, wear long sleeves at dawn/dusk, use repellent, and eliminate standing water. Report dead birds to Solano County’s Mosquito Abatement District at 1-877-WNV-BIRD or online. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
