West Nile Virus Claims First Two Lives in California | Fresno News
Description
California’s grappling with its first two West Nile virus deaths this year, both confirmed last week — a grim echo of last year’s 113 cases and 11 fatalities. With 11 human infections across seven counties by July 31 — six in just the final days of July — and Tulare County leading with three cases, officials warn the virus is spreading faster and earlier than usual. Mosquitoes, dead birds, and even livestock are showing signs of infection. Experts urge immediate action: use bug spray, avoid dawn and dusk outings, and eliminate standing water. This early surge underscores the urgent need for vigilance to stop the spread.
