West Nile Virus back

The West Nile Virus is back in Michigan. A bird in Saginaw County and a mosquito pool in Bay County both tested positive for the virus, marking the first confirmed cases of the mosquito-borne disease in Michigan this year. In 2024, 31 Michigan residents were diagnosed with West Nile virus. The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services is urging residents to take precautions against mosquito bites as arbovirus activity increases in warmer months. David Barr Michigan News Source.
