West Nile virus
found in mosquitoes
near Boardman
2 human cases in Oregon in 2018, 9 human cases in 2019, none in 2020
HERMISTON HERALD
The North Morrow Vec-
tor Control District in a
press release reported it
detected West Nile virus in
mosquitoes at a testing site
in Morrow County.
The mosquitoes, found
in a rural area near Board-
man, are the fi rst to test
positive for the disease in
Morrow County in 2021.
“North Morrow Vec-
tor Control District was
notifi ed that seven mos-
quito pools collected on
the night of Tuesday, Aug.
3, tested positive for West
Nile virus. The pools were
collected in the east rural
Boardman area,” Greg Bar-
ron, manager of control dis-
trict, said in a press release.
“The area was treated with
our truck mounted fogging
units on Aug. 4 and again
on the night of Aug. 9.”
Barron said the vector
control district will retrap
the Boardman area the
night of Aug. 10 and mos-
quito pools will be shipped
for testing at the Oregon
State University Diagnos-
tic Laboratory on Aug. 11.
The number of mos-
quito pools — samples of
10-50 mosquitoes — that
test positive in any area
may indicate the risk of
human exposure and infec-
tion, Barron said. He rec-
ommended people and ani-
mals be protected against
mosquito bites.
“Although
mosqui-
toes are an inevitable part
of summer, mosquito bites
don’t have to be — they are
preventable,” Dr. Emilio
DeBess of the Oregon
Health Authority said in
a press release. “You can
take simple steps to protect
yourself and reduce the risk
of contracting West Nile
disease.”
West Nile virus is spread
to humans through the bite
of an infected mosquito.
Most infected people will
show little or no signs of
disease.
The incubation period
is usually two to 14 days.
Rarely, infected individu-
als may develop neuroin-
vasive disease (infection
of the brain or spinal cord)
that can be severe or may
cause death. This is espe-
cially of concern to peo-
ple 50 and older, people
with immune-compromis-
ing conditions and people
with diabetes or high blood
pressure.
About 1 in 5 people who
are infected develop a fever
with other symptoms, such
as headache, body aches,
joint pains, vomiting, diar-
rhea or rash. Most peo-
ple with febrile illness due
to West Nile virus recover
completely, but fatigue
and weakness can last
for weeks or months. It is
important that you contact
your health care provider if
you experience any of these
symptoms.
Communities and indi-
viduals living in or spend-
ing signifi cant time out-
doors, particularly near
irrigated land, waterways,
standing water and used
tires, including those work-
ing in agriculture, such
as migrant and seasonal
farm workers, may be at
increased risk of mosquito
bites and related diseases.
While risk of West Nile
disease is low, a handful
of people get it each year
in Oregon. The virus also
aff ects wildlife and domes-
ticated and farm animals.
In 2019, nine human
cases of West Nile virus
infection were reported in
Oregon, with 85 mosquito
pools and seven horses also
found to be positive for the
virus. In 2018, there were
two human cases, with 57
mosquito pools and two
horses testing positive. Last
year was relatively mild for
West Nile, with only three
mosquito pools and one
bird found to be positive
for the virus.
