Jamestown Canyon Virus Found in Lincoln Mosquitoes | Omaha News
Description
Lincoln just got a mosquito alert: Jamestown Canyon virus was found in local bugs for the first time since 2024, but no human cases yet in Lancaster County—or anywhere in the U.S. this year. Health officials say it’s not surprising, given ongoing surveillance and recent West Nile detections. As summer heats up, mosquito activity will rise—so stay vigilant. Most bites are symptom-free, but if you do get sick, watch for fever, headache, and fatigue. In rare cases, it can cause brain or tissue inflammation. Stay safe, stay protected.
