The discovery of mosquitos carrying West Nile virus in Jefferson County is a reminder to take preventative measures when spending time outside.

The Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness reported this week that mosquitos infected with West Nile virus were found in a surveillance trap in the Tyler Park neighborhood. While no human cases of the virus have been reported, health officials scheduled mosquito fogging for the neighborhoods in the area of the trap.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in most instances people infected with West Nile virus present no symptoms or mild symptoms. Serious infections, however, may result in neurologic illnesses such as encephalitis or meningitis. People over 60 are at greatest risk for severe disease as are people with certain medical conditions such as cancer, diabetes, and kidney disease.

When spending time outdoors, use insect repellents which contain DEET or picaridin. Weather-permitting, wear long sleeves, long pants, and socks when outdoors in mosquito-prone areas. Take extra care during early morning and dusk when mosquitos are more active. Help reduce the number of mosquitos by emptying standing water from flowerpots, gutters, buckets, pool covers, water dishes, and discarded tires. Drain bird baths regularly.

Contact your local health department for more information on West Nile virus.
