A Squirrel Hill woman was hospitalized recently after contracting West Nile Virus, the first human case in Allegheny County this year, according to the county health department.
New York health authorities announced that two people have been infected with West Nile virus in the state — one case in Brooklyn and another in Queens — as “a record number” of infected mosquitoes have been detected.
Spring rain, summer drought, and heat created ideal conditions for mosquitoes to spread the West Nile virus through Colorado last year, experts have said.
