West Nile Virus

West Nile Virus has caused neuroinvasive conditions like meningitis and brain inflammation in 29 people in the U.S.

The virus could cause potentially dangerous health issues in humans and is most commonly spread by mosquitos.

Cases of the disease spread by mosquitos in Los Angeles have risen in the past five years.

Sometimes summer really bites.

Cities around the country are spraying pesticides meant to kill mosquitos that don’t work—and could pose a serious health threat.
