West Nile virus risk rises with birds and mosquitoes
Virginia health officials warn the West Nile virus presence in birds and mosquitoes this year raises human infection risk. Most infections are mild, with a tiny 0.002 percent chance of illness after a bite, but people over 50 face higher risk of severe disease such as encephalitis. The report notes 24 human Virginia cases and 860+ positive birds out of 2526 tested, with a nationwide 3,231 cases to date.
