Despite Lower Mosquito Count, West Nile Virus On The Rise

THE GOOD.THE BAD.AND THE ITCHY I ve been spending many evenings outside this summer, enjoying the great weather we ve been having. I think in those many evenings, I ve seen one mosquito, and that was in late spring. The good news is that yes.indeed there are less mosquitoes due to the dry weather here in Minnesota. But.out of all the varieties of mosquito s that we have in our state, the one that seems to be showing up the most is the Culex Mosquito, the insect that carries West Nile Virus. According to MMCD, so far, out of all the tests they ve done on captured Culex mosquitoes , tests have been negative for West Nile Virus. That s a good thing for now; but they expect positive cases to start showing up soon.
