County officials again urged people to
“Prevent, Protect, Report.”
From the start of May, the number of dead birds testing positive for West Nile virus in San Diego County has spiked, prompting County environmental health officials to remind people to protect themselves from mosquitoes that can transmit the disease to humans.
In addition to the dead birds, the County’s vector control program has also found two mosquito “batches” that have tested positive for West Nile virus.
“These are signs that 2015 might be another tough year in our county for West Nile virus, so people should remember to protect themselves and their families,” said County Department of Environmental Health Director Elizabeth Pozzebon. “Get rid of standing water around properties where mosquitoes can breed, wear insect repellent when outdoors and report dead birds.”
Report dead birds and green, neglected swimming pools by calling County Vector Control at 858-694-2888 or by email to: vector@sdcounty.ca.gov
