more-confirned-mosquito-west-nile-cases-in-shelby-county
A mosquito sample recently taken in the northwest part of the city of Shelbyville has tested positive for West Nile virus.
The Shelby County Health Department and the Indiana State Department of Health test mosquitoes from different parts of the county periodically every summer.
It is approaching a critical period for potential transmission to humans throughout this next month. The substantial rainfall which we have experienced recently will result in adding significantly to the population of mosquitoes which are already out there.
Recommendations for the appropriate use of repellents and elimination of breeding sites such as containers that hold water near homes do work, when followed to reduce human cases.
Thus far, no confirmed cases of human diseases, and no horse cases have been reported.
The Shelby County Health Department will continue to provide details as developments as they occur.
