West Nile Virus

A cool, damp summer means there has been fewer mosquitoes in northwestern Ontario.

The Northwestern Health Unit has been trapping mosquitos for its West Nile Testing program.

Al Mathers is a public health inspector and say so far there has been no evidence of the disease in this region.

Mathers says they've carried out their mosquito trapping in Kenora, Dryden and Fort Frances, but they haven't been collecting dead birdsfrom the public for testing of West Nile Virus.
