Health Grant Funds West Nile Mosquito Tracking In Illinois
The Perry County Health Department will receive 10000 from a CDC grant to test Culex mosquitoes for West Nile and St. Louis encephalitis viruses, with 10 departments statewide sharing 100000 for testing. Traps collect mosquitoes for testing to provide early warnings, while Illinois reported 884 human West Nile cases and 62 deaths last year, the nation’s highest. Attorneys for former Gov George Ryan and aide Scott Fowell seek a new trial, arguing Pallmeyer made about three dozen errors. The government will respond by May 9, with prosecutors saying no basis to overturn the verdict.
