Indiana West Nile Update | August 26th, 2013


White-colored counties are the nine recent counties confirming the presence of West Nile Virus-infected mosquitoes.
As of Monday, August 26th, according to the Indiana State Department of Health's Arboviral Disease Map, another set of nine counties confirmed that mosquitoes sent for lab testing have the West Nile Virus. Still, the WNV is definitely not widespread — a small percentage of mosquitoes have the WNV. Likewise, Hoosiers are still at a low risk. Colored in white in the map, the nine counties are Cass, Elkhart, Howard, Johnson, Miami, Owen, Perry, Shelby, and Spencer. Cass, Howard, and Miami are the three bordering counties in North-Central Indiana. Elkhart County is in Northern Indiana and the Michiana region. Johnson, Owen, and Shelby counties are in South-Central Indiana, while Perry and Spencer counties are found along the Ohio River in Southern Indiana.
