Excerpts from YubaNet.net article today:
"Placer County’s health officer, along with the Placer Mosquito and Vector Control District, continue to encourage residents to take preventative steps that will reduce their risk of acquiring mosquito-borne illnesses. Since the first 2025 detection of West Nile virus in Placer County in June, the District has detected the virus in 5 dead birds and in 129 mosquito samples. The county’s first human case of West Nile virus in 2025 was reported in a Lincoln resident this week."
"West Nile virus is a potentially serious illness transmitted through the bite of a female mosquito and there is no cure. “
“We encourage residents to protect themselves using simple tips: use an EPA-registered repellent to protect themselves from mosquito bites, drain any standing water on their property to prevent breeding, and contact us if needed.”
For more information about West Nile virus, visit the state of California’s website on West Nile. Residents are encouraged to report all dead birds on that website or by calling toll-free 1-877-WNV-BIRD (968-2473).
