West Nile Virus Surges in Southern Nevada | Las Vegas News

West Nile virus is spreading fast in Southern Nevada—with 10 new mosquito pools testing positive, bringing the total to 14. Experts warn this is the highest mosquito activity in decades, especially as the holiday weekend approaches. Health officials urge everyone to eliminate standing water around their homes, since that’s where mosquitoes breed. While repellents help, stopping them before they hatch is the real key. This isn’t just a local issue: 23 states are reporting cases, and human infections this year are the highest since 2004.
