As of Tuesday, August 12th, according to the Indiana State Department of Health's Arboviral Disease Map, nine more counties confirmed that mosquitoes sent for lab testing have the West Nile Virus. This only means that the West Nile Virus is present, but definitely not widespread - a very minute percentage of mosquitoes have the WNV. Likewise, Hoosiers are still at a low risk of contracting the West Nile Virus. So far there was only one human WNV infection, which occurred in Ripley County. The nine counties are Carroll, Daviess, Marshall, Martin, Newton, Noble, Ohio (smallest county in Indiana), Saint Joseph, and Whitley. They are colored white on the Indiana map to the left.
