Since my previous West Nile Virus update all the way back in early September, there have been four more human cases of the West Nile Virus, which can be spread to few humans by few mosquitoes. It is important to note that humans cannot contract the virus from other humans, only from mosquitoes. Porter County has another human case, bringing the Northwest Indiana county's 2014 total to 2 humans infected by the West Nile Virus. Lawrence, Marion, and Putnam are the other three counties with recent human cases compared to my earlier post; Hancock County confirmed a human case in early September.
There are 163 total lab-confirmed mosquito infections in 52 counties. Visit the Indiana State Department of Health's online arboviral disease map for details. The All About Indiana page below the GeoFact of the Day Blog's header image also has updates on the West Nile Virus in Indiana.
