York County
Mosquito Control
Division routinely samples
mosquitoes collected
throughout the County
and tests for common
mosquito-borne illnesses.
Mosquito Control also
conducts a comprehensive
spray program during
the season that mosquitoes
are most active,
from late spring to early
fall. One mosquito pool
recently collected in
Upper York County
(Penniman area) has tested
positive for West Nile
Virus.
At this time, there
are no reported cases of
West Nile Virus in
humans or animals in
York County that the
County is aware of. The
County plans to continue
testing and spraying
efforts. Mosquito Control
recommends the use of
insect repellent and long
sleeves/pants to cover
exposed skin.
For more information
about West Nile
Virus, please visit the
Virginia Dept. of Health
website. If there are concerns
about symptoms in
someone who has recently
experienced a mosquito
bite, please contact a medical
provider.
