West Nile Virus
West Nile Virus is primarily a disease of birds, but if a mosquito feeds on the blood of infected birds, there is the potential for the mosquito then to transmit the virus to humans through bites.
Although most people do not get sick if they are bitten by an infected mosquito, there is the potential to develop symptoms that range from mild to serious.
Steps you can take to minimize your exposure to West Nile Virus include eliminating standing water in which mosquitoes breed and protecting yourself against mosquito bites.
